These photos were taken at a picnic (maybe 4th of July) with my grandparents, mother (on the running board) and their friends. Unfortunately, I ended up with a reflection when I photographed this LO. The photo was taken circa 1921. Possibly the large vehicle was rented for the day. Don't you just love it?

When I created this page I was playing around with different techniques and different media. I had limited colors in the different media and nothing worked on the chipboard. I finally realized that the most important medium I was missing was gesso, over which I could then paint, spray or apply other product to get the color I wanted. This is so much a learning experience. If anyone has any other ideas for coloring chipboard, please let me know.

	By Chez49 01-Jul-12 oh such a very cute and sweet lil creation and very precious fotos there..luv the details and the sweet daisies.....as you know I cant live without my chipboard, I find a quick spray of pearl gliimermist, let it dry, thenuse an ink pad inyour choice of color...for shine and dimention there is a great product called dimentional magic....xo

	By KVRLVN 01-Jul-12 Beautiful. Great design and I'm loving the mixed flowers. Awesome photos.

	By Mharms2 01-Jul-12 Love your flower cluster! I just colored chipboard by covering in in several layers of picket fence distress bottled stuff and then colored it with my copics and then added three layers of UTEE and I absolutely loved the way it turned out.

	By Kobe2256 01-Jul-12 great photos and fabulous LO! love the daisies & banner and the stickle work looks awesome. I usually just ink over my chippies, then sometimes I spray glimmer mist over them if I want a bit of a 'shine'. If I want a more intense colour I just paint them. And then again, I've been known to use just about everything I have to colour them when I haven't been satisfied with the results.

	By SheilaMarie 01-Jul-12 Beautiful page and details! Just love the pics! Looks like alot of fun! That vehicle is so cool!

	By Moonmist 01-Jul-12 What a wonderful page and photos . Great distressing and embellishment ,love the butterflies and banner.Inking with an ink pad is an easy way to colour your chippies , then gloss over with glossy accents if you want a richer shinier colour.
