Hello Creative Friends
It's time again to welcome you all to
our theme is ALWAYS Anything Mixed Media Goes..
This month i'm sharing a journal page that's very close to my heart..
Created for my Daughters Birthday based around an old postcard
the words say so much as travel restrictions have
kept us apart for almost a year now...
What you see are not just any old oddment glued and pasted to a page as every single scrap holds a memory. A collection of ephemera saved from throughout her life till now.. Baby leaflets, ribbons from gifts and buttons from handknitted school cardigans, even the tartan washi tape represents her Primary school uniform kilt.. I just couldn't bring myself to cut a strip from it's fabric..
Layers of old wallpaper we stripped from the walls she calls home,
a penny minted with her birth year lays upon lace taken from a dress
she once wore on her first foreign holiday at the young age of one..
Using her favourite brand of Coffee there's stencil stained print strips
amongst saved napkins from past family get togethers we've all shared.
Even the beads that embellish were purchased together on a crafty day out.
all finished with a border of machine stitch using the sewing machine
we brought for her 13th Birthday.. Like us all it eagerly awaits her return.
Every single piece holds a treasured memory..
I'm looking forward to framing this and seeing her little face
light up when she see's it for the very first time.
Please pop on over and see what the Creative Artiste DT
