Today’s page shows off a photo I found in my box on the shelf (I don’t seem to be making much of a dent in it!) from way back in late 1981 or early 1982. I began by adding some splatter to the upper left and lower right hand corners of a Very Vanilla 12″ x 12″ page using the stamp from the Color & Contour stamp set and Gray Granite ink. I used some really old retired Stampin’ Up Dies – Project Life Cards & Labels Dies – to cut out the photo as well as Mint Macaron, Blushing Bride & Pool Party card.

I embossed the card pieces using the splatter from the Stripes & Splatter 3D Embossing Folders. The circles hearts and scalloped circles were cut using the Give It A Whirl Dies – from Gray Granite, Basic White & Blushing Bride card. I layered all of the pieces onto the Very Vanilla page, making sure to attach the pieces behind the photo and the Blushing Bride panel. The title was cut from Gray Granite card using the retired Playful Alphabet Dies. I hand wrote a little more info for future reference. I know I have used a couple of retired products on this page but I do not get rid of anything I think will be useful in my memory keeping. I bet if you love to create pages of your memories you do that too! As usual not a very complicated page but I think it is kind of sweet, don’t you?
