I was inspired by a friend on YT and Facebook to do more with my blog. Her blog is awesome. Hopefully I will keep with it this time. This is a layout I created using a picture of me and my sister. I am the older of the two of us. I was about three, and her two. My Mom took this picture of us in the yard wearing our "can-can" slips. The camera she had back in 1957 did not have a flash, so most of the pictures were taken outside. I only remember a couple in-doors, which I thought turned out just fine, but she thought they were better outdoors. Not too long before she passed away we were looking at this picture, and she said she did not know why she did not take a picture of us in our dresses, that they were cute too. She just did not think of it. I guess I never did either. I never even thought of whether or not we had dresses or not.
The paper I used was from Close to My Heart. An old collection I had in my stash. I used my Cricut for the fonts. The 'snapshot details' stamp is from Elle's Studio. I Also used a Tim Holts filmstrip. It has been a while since I created this, and it was for a You Tube Layout Hop, but it has always been one of my favorites. I wish my Mom could have seen it, I think it would have been one of her favorites too.
