Nellie

 Here we have my grandmother, Helen as a young girl. I would think that she is not much older than 18-20years old. The dragon fly paper used as a base for the setting is from card stock called "my Mind's Eye". A lovely wee pad of  (20x 20cm) glittered  embossed papers.
The large blue flowers I hand made and used a stampin up brad to hold them together in the centre.The lettering was my first time using my cricut and using the Opposites Attract cartridge, and is a little shakey as the tricky part was getting those thin wee letters to stick down.(I have since learnt how to meld them together to avoid this problem in future!!). I have attached the surname  and used dimensional tape to hold the christian name above the surname.

 The use of a couple of creative memories punches for the "fence " and up the right side, frame the photo and add structure to the rest of the page.These are new to creative memories  late last year. I have overlaid the half circle cutout ( on the side )with some lace and my favourite ribbon vine. Topping this off with some little paper roses to match. The keys are using the Tim Holtz cutting template "Hardware Findings" I have used a little stamp from Pink Paislee Butterfly "Garden collection" for the bee and postage stamp mark
