My Sketch World is having a contest this month to create a "shabby chic" lo. You use Lucy Chesna's sketch and upload to the MSW gallery & forum. The winner will receive a twenty dollar gift certificate to Citrus Tree Studio. How cool, right?
Since I bought a scanner, I can now scan old photos...and honestly, I am loving it. For this lo, I used a photo of my mother on her wedding day - October 30, 1954. Since my parents were married in the fall, I went with a Prima pp that had fall colors. My mom's favorite color is green - so I thought this pp was perfect.

The big chip parenthesis is by gcd studios, as is the butterfly. I used Tim Holtz crackle paint on the butterfly and then sprayed it w/glimmer mist. My friend Julie Ann had the cream colored crepe paper in her stash and she let me borrow some to layer under the parenthesis. I then used my scalloped edge scissors on the crepe paper. {I love how that turned out.}
The other chip pieces, flowers & pearl bling are by Prima.
The buttons are vintage.
Looking forward to showing this lo to my mom. Thanks for lookin'.
Hope you're having a nice week-end!
