They Almost Didn't Believe It

My children, that is. :) I, really, was young once.  Really! :)

Jason didn't even recognize me at first.  Really. Hurmph.  Other than a few scars, a few wrinkles, some looser skin, and a touch of hair color, I thought that I looked the same. :)  I guess that I look more different than I thought.  Oh well.  At least I have some proof.  But, I'm not sure which grade it is.  If you happen to be one of my New Albany School Facebook friends; and, you saved your yearbooks, I would be greatly obligied if you would look it up for me.  :)

If any of my scrapping friends want the details in the layout, please continue reading. :)  The dark base is Paper Trunk Batik Exquisite, and the next layer is a generic kraft paper. However, all the other paper and ephemera are from the Glitz Laced With Grace collection.

The little fancy border was stamped, (Memento, Rich Cocoa), onto the back of the plaid paper and cut with a die.  The stamp and die are from Our Daily Bread Designs June 2011 release.  (I cannot wait to use the crocheted background on a card!) For the writing around the border of the inner canvas, I have used my tried and true Creative Memories dark brown fine tip pen.  For all of the rest of the inking, I have used Copic pens W7 & YR18.  I LOVE using them this way because it is easy to get the ink into crevices: and, the ink dries instantly.  Therefore, I don't end up with inky fingers.

My working desk was spotless not so long ago.  I just cannot seem to get myself serious enough about redoing my scraproom.  I'll save some of those boring deets for another post.  Here's a picture mid-stream of completing my page and my immediately surrounding work area:


I hope that your having a marvelous day!  Thank you, so much, for stopping by!  Be blessed.
