Generations

The wonderful ladies over at Stuck On U Sketches have another amazing sketch this week by Becky Fleck from Page Maps. I used a picture from my grandmothers 93 birthday party! It was a surprise party and believe it or not, it is the ONLY birthday party my grandmother has ever had!!! A side story for you... my mother took my grandma for her very first facial that same week!! Can you believe it?! 93 and so much she still has not done!!



So, in this picture, are both of my sister with my mom and grandma... I know, you may have to look closely, my baby sister looks a LOT like me!! She's a little taller, but people mix us up all the time!! And all of our relatives that I had not seen for years, kept reminding me how much I look like my mother... what do you think?! A little family resemblence?!! heehee!! You will probably be seeing some more LOs in the future from grandma's party because there are a lot more pictures I want to scrap.... I might just have to make a mini album!!

I also tried something new on this LO.... after checking out the Cuttlebug Challenge Blog, I decided to play along there too. The challenge was to make "crackled glass" using heat embossing. I tried this technique on the tag with our names on it and love the way it turned out! It is always fun to try something new!

Supplies used on this LO:
Cricut - Home accents, Stone Script
Embellishements - Prima Flowers, metal accents from Making Memories, Clock from Heidi Swapp
Papers - DCWV Neutral Stack, My Mind's Eye Wild Asparagus
Cuttlebug
Various inks and glimmer mist
Clear  and Gold Embossing powders

Thank you to all of you who take the time to comment... I really enjoy your feedback!
