I love getting out my dad's old photos. These photos are of me and Dad when I lived in Texas. Does it still snow in Texas? The black tags with journaling are actually what Dad wrote on the back of the photos. What a wonderful thing to have. In the beginning of Dad's love of photography, he wrote on the back of nearly every photo. I have a treasure.

Tim Holtz Thinlets snowflakes, roses, Distress Vintage Photo, Distress Glitter, and Grungeboard swirl.
Prima Crystals
Simple Page. I liked creating my background shape. I found a shape online and printed it out twice. 11 inches does not fit a 12-inch page. So I put the shapes together to create a 12-inch wide curve. I also cut out the darker mat to highlight the curve.
The bird and flowers are from another sheet of paper that I fussy cut and put together.
I still have a good amount of Grungeboard from Tim Holtz. I still love it. I painted the grungeboard with gesso and added Tim Holtz Distress Glitter while it was wet.
I wanted a light, airy, or better yet snowy feel to my paper. I added the die cuts, Prima crystals along with red and silver sequins.
The black tags were created in Photoshop Elements. I used a "white" font to create a journaling tag for my Dad's journaling from the back of the photos.
My one mistake I couldn't take back was the old vellum title I found. I forgot I never glue down my vellum. I did on this one. You can't tell it but it puckered up my paper. Sigh.
I love my Dad's photos and that he wrote on the back makes them priceless to me.
