Hi everyone!
I usually scrapbook really great photos, but sometimes I need to scrapbook a memory with a very bad photo. As scrapbookers we want to preserve our memories....we are stewards of our family histories. Sometimes this means including photos that are not very good quality. I have been so fortunate to have been given so many photos of my husband and his family and recently I received all of my mothers photos as well. Its a challenge to use these photos but I love the memories they evoke and I am up for the challenge.

Family is the Best Part of Christmas
This is Christmas in 1972. I am the one little one with the huge grin and very washed out face. The other people are my siblings.
I covered all the chipboard pieces with white gesso before I started to alter them.
I wanted to keep with the vintage feel of the papers and the photo. I used Elizabeth Craft Designs water colour paints in olive green and deep green and Ranger liquid pearls in brass.
The beautifully festive flourish I painted with ECD water colours in dark brown, burnt umber, scarlet, crimson, olive green and deep green. I added a bit of the brass liquid pearls also.
I used the liquid pearls on the bauble that I painted with the ECD green water colours then added some Pinkfresh beads.
Thanks so much for stopping by
