Love your sweet details your added. the doilie and the buttons are wonderful here as is our journaling. Look at that sweet lil girl? Funny you mention paper dolls because that used to be my fav thing to play also. I'd make my own paper fashions too. Great vintage page
Another stunning layout! You are rocking this kit, my friend! (I found the Jan. kit to be very challenging, but you don't seem to have a bit of trouble with it!) I love this!!!!!!!
How sweet to have this photo! How nice that you remembered that your mother had knit your sweater and what color it was. Great job with beautiful pp, Peggy!
oh such a very beautiful design and wonderful account of your childhood memories scrapping has always been in your blood so obvious. luv the lil doily behind the very cute foto and the blossom branch
The January “Retro Tapestry” kit from Swirlydoos is filled with bright, bold colors and embellies, but it wouldn’t be a true Swirly kit if there weren’t a few goodies that screamed “vintage”!!! This particular piece of paper is amazing up close; all of the flowers are covered with a sugary glitter, so pretty…
Because the paper is full of images and swirls, I decided to keep the “extras” to a minimum: a doily from one of the craft chains that I’ve been hoarding for over two years, a few buttons from my button stash that I had been saving for a special occasion and a couple of snippets from a Prima vine tied together with a bow. I did add one strip of punched pp in the background to give a little “oompf”.
While I have strong memories of cutting out paper dolls when I was young, I had forgotten that I had also done a bit of scrapping until my sister gave me this photo. I’m the one with the forever messy hair holding a pair of not-safety scissors while my younger sister looks on. My father made the table and two matching chairs for us (he loved woodworking.). The other thing that I had forgotten was the sweater that I was wearing. Knitted by my mother, it was pretty close to the shade of the Prima buds and the ribbon bow.
