A bit of heritage going on

I love heritage photos and I haven't been messing

with them as much mostly because I had

believed I had done them all.

Silly me.

 I have always loved print paper, i.e., dictionary, newspaper, etc.

And this one has a purple tint.

How cool is that.

 And nothing says heritage like lace, leaves and butterflies.

If you look in the upper right corner and lower left

I used some ranger mists I've had forever

and used the leaves as a stencil.

Gave the page a bit of an embrace doncha think?

Anyhoo, rooting around in the wayback box I found

this gem. My grandpop, with

his youngest sister and his daughter.

(Aunt Sue and mom-  were close growing up)

Back to school page - 3rd grade

Found these prepunched starts in my stash and

that "flair" is from M's dollar stash

So easy when things are premade - however, keeping

them and hunting them down can be more annoying

than just punching them out.

 Tossed some ranger mists about and included

stamping on the page.

I'm trying to use more stamps since I have so many

and this one seemed perfect- and

I love the 3D look its having here.

Did some paper tearing and added some washi.

I have a lot of washi I need to use too and

for some reason I have a hard time getting on a page.

Used some mists

Love that the title already had splats on it and it

fit this page nicely.

And the old library card makes me swoon.

 And these feathers in combo with the feathers is very cool.

 I used some ranger mists on the background as well as

some stamps to give some dimension.

(Trying to get those stamps in there - I have a ton)

This was a fun page to do and I love the colors.

Doesn't that yellow door make you swoon?

Anyhoo, Annie and Owen headed back to school with

mixed excitement.

They love learning but had such a great summer

it's hard to get back to the swing of it.
