Kathleen and me

Yup, that's me around 56 yrs ago...loving my little coat but no idea what colour it really was, I'll have to ask my Mum and re-colour accordingly, in the meantime it will stay that dusky pink colour which I think is kinda retro. In the picture is our neighbour Kathleen who I think was around 18 here. My mother was obsessed with my long curly hair when I was a child and you get a good look at the curls in the pic where I'm feeding the birds, I just remember the agony of getting it combed out after shampooing - guess they didn't have conditioner in the fifties :)

I started with a template, clipped the photographs to the masks then added another mask from one of the Holiday templates for the pic in the background. I then faffed about (is that a UK term?) with a paper from AP Scholarly clipped to a fotoblend to extend a feeling of hills in the distance, fotoglows and a transfer from AP Scholarly to create the sky and the little bit of colour on the wall. Behind the left hand photograph I layered a transfer from Metro Graffiti and changed the colour to a blue tone. Behind the top photograph is a Snow fotoglow. The element cluster is made up of twigs from Multi media branches, a transfer from AP Ablaze, greenery from AP Christmas Tree and a ribbon from AP Autumn soul which I recoloured. Behind the cluster is a selection of threadz with the little red beads re-positioned. The robin is from the internet...I know...shouldn't really do that!

Love every square inch of this layout - you are so good at this ....its perfect in every way!!
 
Don't you love these old photos? They remind me of my era as a kid. Love how you recolored the coat. I bet it was that color, so pretty.
 
My curls had to be combed with a...oh the shame I felt! ..wire dog brush. Nope, no conditioner then...just the occasional vinegar rinse.

What a memory you stirred Fiona!
