I'm still trying to get all my dad's old photographs archived. This photograph was taken sometime in early 1930. My dad was born in October of 1929, and he's about four or five months old in this picture. I really don't know anything at all about the story behind the photograph.
When daddy saw what I'd done with it, he said, "what did you want to scrap THAT one for?" I said, "well, Daddy, it's a classic bare butted baby picture. It's an adorable photograph, and it looks just LIKE you!" My mom loves it, but I think Daddy maybe is a tad embarassed. Still, once those kind of photographs are out there - they're part of the public record, and besides, I needed a monochrome week 1 project.
The feathers are from a feather boa I got someplace in my travels, the flower was a reject in the Michaels bin (the petals were falling off of a couple of the ones on the stem), the smaller papers are scraps from my stash, the bigger ones were on my paper shelf to be used. The butterflies were from an old heritage class that I taught a few years ago, and the clock is a sticker from that same class kit. The organza is an antique card that my sister found in her estate sale travels, and I found the ribbon at Hancocks Fabrics. I got the little bling flourishes at ... Hobby Lobby? Michaels? One or the other. I used a StampinUp stamp and coordinating punch for the title mats. Some diamond stickles and ivory dimensional paint finished it up.
This is for these two challenges:
#1. Scraplift the Person Before You Challenge. I lifted Alwayschar's "Falling for You" which you can find here.

I loved the bones of her project and knew it would be perfect for what I wanted to create with this photograph.
#2. Monochrome Week 1 - Light End of the Spectrum Neutrals. There is a lot of texture in this project, which doesn't really photograph well, but I love how it looks in real time!
#3. June Heritage Picture Challenge.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by and look at my project. I treasure every comment and love constructive criticism and suggestions.
