Early 1970s - What a Hoot! and some really cute buttons

                                                       

I found this cute sketch at My Scraps and More and thought of this old photo of my twin sister, little (now 6' 3") brother and me.  I kind of added some pinks and blues and some very masculine elements along with some very feminine ones. Simple, but I like it...

Also, I was thrilled when Ursula Luserke custom made these darling buttons and sent them to me from Germany! She has quite the knack for making these!

                                   

Julie- Prom 2010

I added a bird for the Paper Variety challenge.  I used mist for Let's Scrap. I sprayed it on the tiny yellow flower in addition to the papers. I stamped a flowery image by spraying the stamp and then stamping in a couple of spots.  I also painted the letters with a Shimmerz paint pot. This is my beautiful niece in her senior year. She was dressed for 2010 Prom...

Vintage Home Collage

I was inspired by Amanda Jones over at The Studio to make this collage. I used 7 Gypsies Orchestra paper and rubbed some Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Antique Linen over it.  I made my own flower and used a crochet flower made by my friend Mary--with a little of the distres ink rubbed on it to make it look a little older. The birds are from a lovely Cosmo Cricket paper pack--looks very vintage I thought.  The buttons ARE vintage, and I thought they all had something unique to offer to this collage! I don't know if this will go in a frame or what yet, but I thought it turned out ok.  I thought it would be good for Brenda's challenge for fall colors over at Sketches 4 All!
