Early 1960 - my mom and I at a family picnic. I remember wanting to help with the fire so I could roast marshmallows. Gosh how simple life was then.
So I decided to make a simple lo with simple tools (stamps, ink and scissors). I drew the tree branches free hand and cut them out and inked them, tore the leaves from scrap paper, stamped and fussy cut the birdies and distressed the photo mats with scissors. Hmmmm, all the high tech, fancy "gizmos" in my scrap room and I revert back to scissors and glue. Guess I am just an "old fashion" scrapper at heart. TFL
