I do not think I left a comment for this....wow this is beautiful...absolutely love your style. Love every detail you have put on here and you have placed everything so perfectly!!
What a wonderful tribute to your father! You can tell you put your heart and soul into this page with every single detail! Everything just flows together so beautifully! Love it...fav
Trying to get caught up with my friends' work and knew right away this was one of yours, Patty! It is so beautifully crafted and every little detail and technique shows off that sweet photo - to perfection. Can't say enough about how special and fun this page is! It's full of nostalgia and reflects a time of innocence and simplicity. A definite fave for me! I'd never be able to scraplift it, but it sure is inspiring!
Well for H@lls sakes, how ever did I let this one slip past me!!!!!! That photo is just a treasure, and love the color and embellies along with that fabulous cross stitching! This page just shines!
This is so precious. I love all the cute and sweet vintage looking embellies and the photo is just adorable. Love the title...it was my dd's favorite book ever..we used to read it all the time..I plan to use I think I can as a title for layout about her and this lo is an inspiration to look for some really cute stuff for it.
You know how I'm going to start this comment? FAVE!!!! Your artistry shines on this page, Patty, well, it shines on EVERY page...and that is why I get SO excited when you post a new lo! To start with a Victorian scrap and then create from there with this AMAZING photo of your father....well, you are BRILLIANT, my friend. Adore every detail, especially the burlap rice bag!! (cuz a few days ago, I am hunting high and low for a piece of burlap....not even thinking of the grocery store! LOL!) But that's why I appreciate your pages SO MUCH....I walk away with inspiration every single TIME!
This is a gorgeous LO!!! I love all the details here! Design and colors--awesome!! Love the stitching. Title is fantastic..Ohhh.. I love everything!!! FAV!!!
Patty - I saw you put this lo together and it is just stunning!!! I really love everything about it...the papers your used, the wet distressing, the lovely embellies, and the PHOTO is absolutely beautiful. Your dad was a handsome young man for sure!!! TFS - Ginger
Patty, what a treasure!! You used a lot of unique resources here. I wish I had a special photo like this - it is amazing and you have certainly done it justice! The tiny colorful embellishments are too cute and I just picked up on that great stitching you did!!!
oh this is stunning, reminds me of a foto of my dad about the same age, and later on he became a traindriver, such a very precious foto there enhanced by your very very gorgoeus lil details and embellies, and the lil train and bike just add the finishing touch....fav for me
On this LO I used some bright colors so I could work the antique scrap into the LO (see the little boy on the rocking horse). I have found that the Victorian Era was anything but dull....especially when it comes to colors, as is evidenced by this piece of scrap. I let the paper, the scrap and the picture lead me in my embelishments and mood. The pp is called "Playtimes Past Collection" by Graphic 45, and has graphics of antique trains on one side of the pp and the quote, "I Think I Can" on the other side. It is from the child's book, "The Little Engine That Could". You can see the little trains around the border of the paper. The sheet music for "Jack and Jill" is also from the Playtimes Past Collection. The title is done in Office Word, using the font, "1942 Report". The antique-looking red ric-rac, the large flower (by Prima) and the antique milk bottle cap are from my LSS, The Crafty Scrapper, in Waxahachie, Texas. For the little engine and the vines, I used the Heritage Cricut Cartridge. Also used in this LO was brown Colorbox ink. Got a lot of distressing done on this one, as well as some stitching by hand and on my machine. As I usually do with my heritage LO's I wet distressed the frame around the picture and folded it back. The little ticket is by Crafty Secrets, and The little tricycle is a Grand Adhesion (Hopscotch) by K & Company. The other two flowers are cut from a burlap bag that used to contain rice that is from India....we ate the rice....LOL
The portrait is of my father when he was about 3 or 4 years old.
