I had a big laugh when I came across this photo last time I visited my parents. They told me the story about the bar incident, and my step-dad laughed hard in remembering the whole thing.
Journaling reads: I always thought it was awesome that Mom and Bert dressed up for Halloween each year. They seemed to put more effort into their costumes each year then us kids, as they dressed up for the big work Halloween party at Blakeslees. On this particular year, Bert thought it would be funny to head to the neighborhood bar of a friend, and he sat on the stool, next to him. His friend, not knowing who this weird hippy was, tried real hard to ignore him. Bert acted the part, and didnt let on for a few minutes, but when he finally told him it was him; they all had a big laugh!

The process: I began with the background paper. I used the frame from AP Story, and attached the photo to the clipping mask. I then added various transfers and brushes underneath the photo. I added the elements and WordART to the lower right of the photo, and added the Ha Ha Ha and the WarmGlow to the upper left of the photo. The journaling was added under the photo. I finished up by added the zigzag overlay, and the bit of lace along the left edge, which was made black by placing it on blend mode subtract.
