Happy Family Memories

This takes me back, my Grandparents garden in London in the early 1960's, even though I was very small when they moved from here, I can still remember the kitchen so well.

I have used the Peony paper again from My Little Shoebox.

Take a sheet of paper 7704 and cut to 16cm x 24cm and run the top and right hand edges through a border punch to create the scallops. Adhere this to brown cardstock, 1cm from right hand edge and 1.5cm from the top. Place two smaller photos in a staggered position on the bottom edge of the patterned paper, finish this of with a length of FTI stitched ribbon and a bow. Next take a piece of cream cardstock and trim it to 30cm x 14cm, mount your photos and place on the cardstock filling in the gaps with scraps of patterned paper (I have used paper 7705). Next take a green piece of cardstock 30cm x 2cm and adhere the scalloped edging from the Peony overlay sheet, tuck this just under the right hand edge of the cream cardstock, I also added a title and flower from the overlay sheet. Adhere this whole piece to the brown cardstock 1cm from the left hand edge. Apply rub on lettering (I have used Luxe Designs - Whoa Nelly) to cream cardstock and cut randomly around them, define the edges with a fine liner. Next to finish the title, apply My Little Shoebox Mini Alphabet Stickers in Cream to rust coloured cardstock. More mini stickers are used to complete the journalling.
