The challenge this week on MDS Monday is to use a vintage photo or just create a vintage page. This is one of my favorite pictures of my Mom. She looks so cute! I'm guessing she was about two years old?? Well, she celebrated her 86th birthday this past July so I guess this qualifies for vintage! I hope this page will make her smile today. Today marks 41 years since Daddy died and I know she will be remembering that day.
I used so many overlays on this page that it was really slowing down the program. I kept saving it - I was afraid I would lock it up and have to start all over. I've had to do that before so I try to remember to save often.
Make sure you visit the MDS Monday blog - there are some great vintage pictures there!
Here are the elements I used to create this page.

WOW! This turned out FANTASTIC! I love the numerous layers of overlays. I never would have thought of doing that, but it works beautifully, especially with the dark, solid frame breaking everything up! GORGEOUS!!!!
What a cute picture! And your page is an amazing mix of overlays that all look fantastic together! Great use of the sketch. Thanks for joining us at MDS Monday!
