I do not have very many pictures of myself growing up, just a few have popped up here and there, and what there is, they are all in magnetic albums - and stuck! So I took the albums to our Staples here in town, marked the pages I wanted copied onto photo paper with Sticky notes, and wow - great photo copies of the originals that are true to color and photo safe!
Here is how they come when copied -
I just cut them apart at this point, and add them to my layouts.
Here is a layout I did using the "Thrift Shop" line from October Afternoon (paper and stickers)- LOVE that huge flower from Prima, and the brad is from Girls Paperie line.
Here is another layout I had fun with (so often you will have only one photo - 100's were not taken as they are now with digital) This chair paper I picked up in the Winkler store, My Scrap Shoppe - I just never got it in yet when I saw it, I knew it was perfect for this photo...flower was Prima again, woodgrain button is "Flair" by American Crafts, ribbon and letters are all in the store (Studio Calico -newsprint & Cosmo Cricket - mini)
Journaling says - I am not sure of my age in this photo-but I am thinking less than 2 years old. I like the way my dad is smiling at me-like I told him a joke or something, I wonder what we talked about while we shared a cuddle in "this Chair for Two"
We have such great suff in the store to compliment your old photos today, remember, working with older photos is a fun change from keeping up with the "everyday life" photos, changing gears can sometimes help get you out of a creative rut...and make you excited about this great and fun hobby!
