my first layout on my blog...with more to follow

This is Tom's Nana, who has already left us to join her husband a number of years ago. We had a lot of stuff still leftover from their days and I finally went through their photos and found a wonderful treasure. I decided I would start a heritage album and all I want to do is scrapbook black and white and tinted photos....EVERY MOMENT I GET!

I was pretty proud of myself because I had never "created" my own chipboard letters, other than on the cricut. I painted these letters with Siren Smooch Ink and then crumpled a piece of paper, inked it in black and stamped the letters. I'm so pleased how they came out!

I did some fancy cutting on the butterflies and roses of this Prima PP from the Pastiche collection. I wanted some dimension so I cut the flowers, leaves, butterfly wings, rubbed them with a rub-on tool from behind to round them up a bit and popped some up with pop dots.

Thanks for stopping by!
