You're holding the frog... how surprising! ;) LOL What an adorable photo!! LOVE this page and love the whimsical feel to it witht he bicycle and flowers and the BB Timepiece circle in the bg. Great colors too! Faving for one of my sister pictures! :)
So beautifully put together. From the colors, your flowers with the vintage buttons, the great faux ribbon - every detail is amazing. and of course the photo is priceless.
OMG! This soooo jumped out at me from the gallery. Those flowers are so cool! i LOVE them ...and awesome job with the faux ribbon. Straight to my faves!!!! ps ..and great idea with the clock resizing!
Wonderful lift and story! My mom sewed most of my clothes too, from toddler to wedding dress. Looks like your photo was taken on a playground-only recently my dad and I were talking about those push merry-go-rounds! Hope you've had some rain since we last 'talked'.
This is a photo of my sister and me, taken sometime around 1963. I'm the one holding the frog.
My mom was - IS - a fabulous seamstress and sewed everything my sister and I wore up through our high school years. Becky and I always matched as little girls, and we always looked cute. My mom was a fantastic designer, and she always managed to get more mileage out of a yard of fabric than anyone I've ever met. I have the fabric scraps from most of our outfits, and if I ever need another obsession, I may try creating a quilt from them.
Until then, this little layout will have to do.
The flowers are created with my Stampin'Up scallop punch and a McGill starburst punch. The button centers are from my grandmother's vintage button collection. I created the faux ribbon by laying a strip of patterned paper over some cardstock, and then folding it to give it the illusion of ribbon. The title letters are Kaisercraft chipboard letters, sprayed with Glimmer Mist and then pumped up with a bit of stickles to bring on the sparkle. I scanned the die cut Bo-Bunny clock and then printed it out on a smaller scale so it would fit this project idea better.
Once again, I'm indebted to great artists who inspire my creativity and great community members who leave love and constructive ideas. Thanks for being a member of my extended family. I really appreciate all you ladies!
