Awesome lo! The photo looks authentically vintage...its awesome that she is wearing what your mom made. I adore those flowers, the colors, everything about it!
This is one of my favorite layouts of all that you have done, and I'm going to do my best to lift it as closely as possible! I just hope I can do it justice. Thanks for the inspiration!
This is so very pretty !!! I recognized this pic right away. The 1st time you did this pic I put it in my fav's !!! And this one is great too ! LOVE that big flower !!!
The flower petals and center emellishment are great. That was the first thing I noticed. Like the photo corners too and the lace strip. Thought this was a vintage photo at first.
Betty this is absolutely wonderful! A beautiful photo of Sarah and a fabulous poem!! I really love the colors you used too! Looks for all the world like a heritage layout!!
I thought this was a vintage photo-I must agree with you, she looks like she is stepping out of the past. Great journaling! The colors are great and love the flower!
What an inspired piece of art! You are so right about the sepia, and you could not have given it a more suitable setting. The colors are perfection and that stamped flower is stand alone gorgeous, while at the same time pulling the eye to beautiful Sarah!
Betty, this is perfection at it's best!!! I love the beautiful stamped flower & everything about this!! These photo's are so lovely and Sarah looks stunning in the dress!!! Into my favs!! :-)
Such a beautiful page!!! I love the sepia pic, Sarah looks gorgeous in just about anything I think, that flower is gorgeous and your colour choices are spot-on. You never disappoint Betty!!
Oh Betty! This is breathtaking! The color is gorgeous, and sepia photos are my favorite to work with because of the color you can bring in around them! The flower is so pretty, all the stamping and layering and I love how you cut the petal edges! The frame on the photo is gorgeous too, however you did the corners so pretty! The poem couldn't have been done better, I just love this. Alas, I do miss so having my daughter at home to play with every time I look at Sarah..................sigh............
This is just beautiful!!! The colors/pp's go great with that sepia photo! The poem is perfect!! Love the flower you made and the paper lace is pretty, too! Wonderful job on this!
Absolutely love this! that poem is perfect for this page! and that photo is stunning! the flower petals are out of this world incredible! what a fantastic heart-warming page!
I had to wait several minutes to write my comment because I cant type while I am crying, A stunning layout, with an equally moving poem that I will have to scraplift from you. Congrats!
I've scrapped this photo of Sarah before (in color). I really love it in the sepia tones - she looks like shes's stepping out of the past.... She's wearing a dress that my mother made for herself back in the 50's. The jacket was the one my mother wore for her wedding day in 1945. The hat and gloves were also my mama's. The dress fit like it was made for her. The poem is one I've had for a while - don't remember where I found it or who wrote it. I altered some of the wording to fit with my page.
Poem reads: When she was only three or four she played at being grown and oft her mother’s garments wore, as though they were her own. She strutted in a trailing dress and wore a bonnet gay. For that was Sarah’s happiness on many a rainy day.
She loved the game of dressing up and having friends for tea. The way she held her little cup was proper as could be. For capes and robes and pretty things she robbed both hook and shelf, took broaches, bracelets, pins and rings and hung them on herself.
I’ve chuckled many a rainy day to see her thus attired and have her curtsy low and say: “Your company is desired. A few friends I have asked for tea. I’ve known them all my life; and very happy I should be if you should bring your wife.”
Now to those grand and lofty airs has Sarah fully grown, and now her grandma’s trinkets wears as though they were her own. But what is more than silk and lace and jeweled neck and arms, she also wears with youthful grace her grandma’s many charms.
