Photos of me at 10 months old having fun in the backyard with Mom & Dad. July 1951

paper & stickers: Fancy Pants Day Spa

Cucumber
Sky Blue
Stripes
Wide Stripes
2 Diamond
rub-ons: Basic Grey Wholly Cow (silver)
ink: Tim Holtz Distressed Walnut

I used a Becky Higgins sketch for my layout design.

For the background I used 2 pieces of Diamond paper, then cut 2 horizontal
strips ( 3 1/2" wide) from the Stripes paper; one for each page. To the left
page I added a large 8 x 8" square cut from the Wide Stripes paper; to set
off the main photo. I double-matted my main photo with Cucumber, then
Sky Blue. (all edges are inked with the Walnut Stain) I added photo
corner stickers to the photo, except the bottom left corner that has the
accent sticker. For the title I used the Basic Grey silver rub-on letters.
On the righthand page I used three 3 1/2 x 5 1/2" photos across the
bottom, and two 3 1/2 x 4" photos matted together at the top. That
left room for a small tag sticker in the middle of the page where I added
the date with the rub-on numbers. There's still plenty of room left on
either page for journaling or captions.

Thanks for looking!
Carolyn
