It was difficult to not think of my maternal grandmother while working on this layout for The Crafty Scrapper Design Team. The Ladies' Diary Collection by Graphic 45 is a perfect choice for a lovely photo of Granny, and to tell her story. She was born late in the nineteenth century and our culture was very different. Sometimes I wish that we could go back to those times when there was more of a sense of formality. At the top of the layout is a little tab that is attached to a hidden file folder which can be pulled out for the story about Granny, and how she would never leave her home without being "presentable". She would never be caught wearing slacks and didn't own a pair of jeans. She had beautiful suits and matching hats for Sundays, and she was lovely to gaze at in all her finery.
Techniques used on this layout include inking, sewing, three dimensional work, interactive work, stamping, painting, fussy cutting and layering. In the photo above, can be seen a flower that I made by gathering a ribbon along one side and created the center by using black beads from my stash and Glossy Accents. For the shoe, I painted it black, then covered with Glossy Accents. To decorate the shoe, I punched a hole with a 1/4" hole punch, painted it black, covered it with Glossy Accents, then added beads and added another layer of Glossy Accents.
I always appreciate your kind comments in my gallery and look forward to seeing what you have been creating. For more photos of my three dimensional work on this LO, please go to my blog:

This layout is so beautiful, but I have to say, that I enjoyed reading the story behind it. I too sometimes wish things were not so "casual" today. I love looking at the heritage pictures of people all dressed up just to maybe take a trip on the train. Makes me nostalgic.

I'm first? It is always a treat to stop by and see your creations. What a sentimental page~ Yes...times have changed! So often I see adults dressed as if they were going to the park instead of work! lol~ What nice details. You made the flowers from gathered ribbon? Elegant. I really like what you did to the shoe. Beautiful penmanship, too. xox
