Dennis
Hi there, here is a layout that I made this morning of a photo taken in 1947 of my late husband, he was about 12 months old, the inspiration for this layout is from Emma at That's Life, http:stickydots.BlogSpot.com.au, thanks Emma, I used an 8" x 8" background scrapbooking paper from SEI from Logan, Qld, www.shopsel.com, they make lovely papers, and I used a 6" x 6" paper from Fairy Belle Collection by Jodie Lee Designs, this was a free pack with Australian Simply Cards Magazine, the lace around the edges was cut from another paper from this collection by Joy Crafts, I have had this in my stash for quite a few years, I used a couple of brass pieces, the small rose on the right hand side and a swallow in the top left hand side, I made the mini royal roses with die-namics die, and the rose leaves with Spellbinders "Make a Rose" both from scraps of Graphic 45 paper from Birdsong, I love these papers so much I like to use all the offcuts and not waste anything, I used a Graphic 45 tag that I received with another free pack from Australian Simply Cards, I used a little bootee and a jewelled brad and adhered the tag with dimensional tape. I had two copies of this photo and gave one each to my kids after Dennis died but kept a photo for myself which I have finally scrapped. I am entering this into Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge # 11, Tag, http://gloriadesignsblogspot.com.au
