SGC July - I'm a Littlebit Vintage

Here is my entry for Robin Shakoor's "I'm a Littlebit Vintage" challenge for the Swirly Girls Club over @ Swirlydoos. The challenge is to use a photo of yourself as a baby or little girl and to tell some things that people have said about you when you were growing up.  I can't remember anything specific that people said about ME when I was little. People always talked and asked about my sister (They still do! LOL). She was a real cutie when she was little, and she still is more extravert and easier to talk to than I am. I am more the quite type, not so outspoken. I was/am the typical "big" sister, looking out for her, my family, my friends. I do remember that my mom told me that I was an easy baby and todler. Never cried much, and when she would put me down somewhere with some toys, I would happily play and stay at the same spot where she left me. And that is what I still do. Put me in my scraproom and I will stay there for hours !!! Totally happy, and no desire to do something else or go anywhere else.

For this LO I used primarily fabrics and only very little paper. The big flower is (of cours) made with Tim's tattered florals die.

Thanks for looking and happy creating!

Canvas Album

You know I love to try new things and materials. So last month I bought an album kit from Carol Wingert. I met her last year in Phoenix at Creative Escape, and she makes the most amazing mini albums. (there is a link to her blog on the right column of this page). This is an canvas album and most of the embellishments are from vintage fabrics, laces and ribbons. It all so gorgeous and I had a blast putting this album together and truly enjoyed working with fabrics and learning new techniques. I still need to do two more pages, but it requires a sewing machine to finish them. Hopefully DH gives me one for my B-day. I already dropped a hint or two (LOL).

I didn't fill the album with photos yet, because it is all so pretty, and I don't want to spoil it with my photos. Just love to touch it and feel all the different textures. TFL
