Impossible to ignore

Well, it's happened, it's impossible to ignore the truth any longer ...I'm now sixty years of age!!! I took this pic in the mirror a couple of days ago for my B'day page and realised tonight that the photograph which sits in front of the mirror of Sara and my Mum is just before my Mum was sixty - happy coincidence and very frightening, just seems like yesterday my baby girl was 2 and now she has her own baby girl!!

I think you can see that there's not much to this page re: technique, just a repeat of the photograph made black and white and the levels tweaked. The rest is layering of transfers from AP Tinge/ Elements and AP Metro Graffiti. I 'made' the twisted wire garland for an earlier page using a loopdaLoop altered with bevel and emboss and 'threaded' with pearls from AP Forget me not.

Great page! Love the strip of photo and the notes mixed with the stitchez. Very nice use of white space, too.
 
Happy Birthday, Fiona! This is a wonderful photo and I love the design, including all the little word labels!!
 
You make it seem true: 60 is the new 40! Wonderful page.

I remember the day I turned 60. The worst of it was knowing that the next "Big One," was going to be 70! Now that I'm only a couple years away, it doesn't seem so bad!
 
Love all the "stuff" on the right side going down! Love the color on top and B & W. Really, you look gorgeous and a decade younger than you are; looking at our moms and gm's pics - they looked SO much older, didn't they? guess it was the hard life.... Happy Birthday, Fiona!
