Hi all and Happy Sunday Wishes. Well have decided to create a special Momento Album for our children as a keepsake, hopefully to be passed down through future generations.
This a photo I love of my Mother in law helene Dora, taken when she was 17, a very pretty young lady. Notice the large watch on her wrist. Helene , hair for some unknown reason went completely white by the time she was 28, beautiful wish I had a later foto to share. She is now 96 years and lives in a Hostel .
Once again I have used the very Dreamy g45 papers, the title, and gorgoeus Umbrella is from Scrapmatts, inked in versa pale blue. Acutally IRL the chippies dont look as blue as on the page, they are much paler....Take care all and thanks for looking....xo

	By Luckychitislucky 16-Feb-13 Very nice. Love the Graphic 45 collections. Circus blood has driven me to them. You have done an excellent job with your collection.

	By Zemyna 24-Aug-12 Oh my, what a lovely photo. And your layout is perfect for it.

	By Simply Paper 23-Aug-12 Amazing layout! Well, sorry that I've been missing for several weeks in the forums and galleries and blogs but I've have had 6 or 7 kids to take care of each day for most of the summer, guests stay with us, lots of summer vacation mishaps (including sick kid among so many other yucky things) and now I am really behind on EVERYTHING. Hopefully life will slow down in September to catch up with all my online friends.
