I have had 3 wonderful mothers – my Mother (Momma, who is still living), my stepmother (Mom), and my Mother-in-Law (Grammy). This picture of Mom is so beautiful and rather unexpected. I always knew her as a blonde. NOT! At 16 she was almost as dark headed as me! Mom was a definite PINK person. She tried to convert me but failed. She was a die-hard Bingo fan. That I could run with but never played like she did. I didn’t win nearly the money she won, either, but then she was the gambler not me. And she was a professional seamstress, drapery maker, and doll clothes manufacturer )mostly for antique or antique-style dolls). I loved her dearly and miss her still, although she left us in 2015 at the age of 85. She was beautiful and chic until the very end.

For the background I used paper no 6, placed the page mask from the kit over it and clipped paper 09 to the mask. Then, I added the photo, elements and brushes behind and over, title, caption on tag, and done. Vicki makes it so easy!
