Inspired by my husband’s love for dahlias, I made this page using Old World Sketchbook No 5 – Dahlias and Curiosities No 2 – Bugs & Blooms. Also used: Whimsical Templates No 4 Nowhere In Particular.

I had some me time and scrapped with Mixed Media Papers No 45, Curiosities No 1 and CU Frames No 9. I also used bits and bobs from Aquamaris, Aestus and Mermaid Lagoon. The photo is from the Aesthetic Photos No 10 'Wonders Of The Sea' set.

Another of Mom at Jones Beach 1953 .. the beach was close to where everyone lived and Jones Beach besides the Ocean, had a boardwalk with all kinds of activities all day and at night after swimming in the ocean was over. I love this photo of Mom.

I did a bit of digging in my photos and was almost 19 years old here (photo of July 1989, my birthday is in November)... wow... that's almost 38 years ago (am I really getting that old???). Fun challenge! I used a frame from my 'I Love You, Most Ardently' collection.
