A page about a random childhood memory. That's my cousin and little sister in the photo, from back in the early 70's. Journaling on the back says:<br><br>I can't seem to find the right word for what I felt about Tina's life. I can't really call it jealousy or envy because there was really no resentment. Maybe longing would be the right word? Tina was pretty and fun and cool. She was older and therefore more “worldly.” She knew all about teen pop stars and had a cool bedroom and cool clothes. She had a seemingly privileged life compared to ours–a nice house, where we always lived in dumpy apartments. Nice furniture. All those yellow National Geographics lined on the shelves in their den. And that glorious cat, Fluffy. I so wanted a cat of my own. In retrospect, even though Tina was more privileged on the surface, I know her life no less filled with difficulties and sorrows as ours was.<br><br>I combined challenges on this one. For the <a href="http://hmitm.blogspot.com/ [hmitm.blogspot.com]“ target=”-blank“>How Much Is Too Much?</a> blog, Paula challenged us to use 3 patterned papers, 3 pieces of chipboard, 3 ribbons, 3 stickers and 3 clear/transparent items. I kind of cheated because I had originally planned to use a ghost butterfly as one of my transparent items but I lost it! After searching for it to no avail, I used an acrylic butterfly stamp on a sheet of transparency. I also made this for the <a href=”http://colorcombosgalore.ning.com/ [colorcombosgalore.ning.com]“ target=”-blank">Color Combos Galore</a> site.<br><br>Materials: Cardstock: Bazzill.
