Journaling: Imagine my delight in finding the little Coats & Clarks knitting booklets from the 70s. They were 35 cents and packed full of hip and cool patterns and I was into it. Pictured are some of the things I made. I wore that cream hoodie a lot. It was my go to cardigan to grab when i left the house, it went with everything. With the exception of the shorts, they would still fly today. Ive always been a classic dresser, but with a little twist that kicked it up a notch.

Notes: After scanning the photos from the booklets and adjusting them a little, I opened a template page and clipped them to their respective masks. I used artsy kardz for the masks across the top of the page along with some transfers. I created the title and used a style on it.

I blended the photos without frames and added a light leak over the top of the large photo, also blended. Brush work was next, over and under the photos: tapes, tissue textures, splatters, etc. I added the caption to the photo and drew the arrow pointing to the shorts. The journaling was placed and a frame from Go Retro was added along with the buttons.

Finally the lights were hung, the drink was added and the tape between the stitches and artsy card.
