Grammas....just antique little girls

This weeks sketch for the SOUS challenge was provided by the wonderful Aymee Gandy. I wondered across this fantastic pic of my gramma and her brother....the original was not in great shape so I very happy with the one I have been able to copy...not perfect but a treasure to me....it is over 90 years old so I feel very blessed to have run across it.

I decided to frame this layout....I found these fab frames on sale for $4.00 and they are 12x12....a wonderful find. The beautiful hydrangea branch and the bright pink prima were both part of the kit supplied by Kristina at Your Memories Here...hope you'll pop over and check out her sale too....the coupon code is turkey so please pop over and see what fab finds she has to make your projects spectacular.

This close up of the hydrangea branch does not do it justice....it is just stunning....it worked perfectly for my gramma who loved flowers. The butterflies are from Indie Art, accented with pearl paint and stickles. The branches are from Storybook and the background accent cut is from Home Decor.

The primas are so pretty and I love how I was able to use the beautiful minis along with the larger prima....the center is accented with a button. I added some pearl paint to the branches just for fun.

I used a Fiskars border punch to punch up the edges of the photo with some hot pink paper...the flourish is Home Decor and the lace was made with a border from Storybook. I found the little metal catch at the hardware store and knew it would work so well on a layout. I burned the edges of the background paper and added some pages from an old book behind it as well as behind the photo.

I added a little fence from Paperdoll Dress Up and some lace and ribbon along the bottom of the picture. Gramma is cut from Storybook...the rest of the title is computer generated and printed on vellum....I cropped my gramma from the pic and placed her in a K&Co mini frame....I love these little frames. Thanx so much for stopping by....I so appreciate you all!
