down memory lane.......

this is a layout that goes back 35 years..........my eldest brother was about 2 years old when the main photo was taken, and the others up until he was about 5. i don't have alot of photos from when we were kids - unfortunately most family photos were lost a few years ago. but just look at my dad and Johan - so happy!! and johan was such a cute little boy!! i remember some of these outfits. my mom used to make all our clothes - just look at his little church suit on the last photo bottom left! it was white and navy blue. it is my dad's birthday today. i really miss him sometimes - especially when i need advice! he was always my "go-to" guy!!!! as the photos were really old and the colouration poor, i scanned them all and then changed them to black and white. love how they came out! the paper is a range by FABSCRAPS - i just cut lots of the bracket pattern and layered the patterns over each other and did another piece in the centre. the title letters is by MME - velvet and so luxurious!! yummiiiieeeeee!!!

the only other embellishments is a stamp by Paperbag studios - stamped on a no8 tag with coffee archival ink, and then blended with peeled paint distress ink and splattered with water, some 7Gypsy strips from Time, as well as a 7G paper clip and some typed journaling. plain and simple! hope you like it!
