Cherish

This is only the 2nd photo I have scrapped of me when I was young - my Dad took this photo and used to develop all his pictures too - this is a scanned image of one of them.  So there I am just after my 4th birthday (the story goes that sent my Mum into labour), the very proud big sister of my brother - yep his birthday is the day after mine.  The other bit of information included in the journalling envelope is that I am wearing my sisters dress and my sister was wearing my clothes which suprised my Mum when we got to the hospita.  The papers I have used are sassafras indie girl, and I used the Sarahs Card monthly challenge sketch for the LO. I made some water distressed flowers, and stickled them around the edges, I also cut some flowers from one of the sheets of paper and added some roses that I had picked up too - I cut of the stalks and then curled them around a cocktail stick and added them into my group of flowers.  I had seen some beautiful paper beads on the jillibean soup blog - I think I have something similar made by Suze Wineberg and dunked in UTEE - so will have to try that too.  I threaded the beads with some string - yep another way to attach string to you LO, attach it with beads. The title is a fabric sticker I have had for ages, but it seemed to go really well with the picture, here are the close ups.
