Scrap The Girls October Challange

Title:- DRAMA QUEEN

 This is my daughter Jackie, she is about 3 1/2 years old when the photo was taken on the porch at our home at 11 Torch street, Voyager Point. N S.W. This was her favourite dress and she would wear it every day to kindy if I would have let her. As you can see she has attitude even at an early age. The second day of kindy I was not allowed to walk her down the road, the kindy was at the end of our street. I had to wait on the porch and watch her walk down, but I was allowed to pick her up.

When things didn't go her way its was always a drama, hence the title Drama Queen.

The elements I have used are:

flowers

two different alpas:-  are the large lips and the large star in the corner

two different photo's

the staples I have put on the bow you can hardly see it. I used only one.

CSI No 41.

CHERISH

This is my grandad george and my owm dad James flannigan gillespie this was taken when he was around 13 months old. Don't you lovee the way they dressed the kids back them. Both grandad gillespie and my dad worked in the mines, my dad worked in the Wonthaggi mines, I can always remember his old leather bag and his work boots being at the back door ready for him in the morning.

I have use for the elements something that opens and the gold element the belt buckle. For the crepe, I have used the crepe paper ruffled  and place it at the edge of the photo. For the layering element I have used white paint stamped wwith the ground theme, then with white pearl stickles I have gone over the Outline of the flowers and trellis. For my journalling I have used te coloured woman's dress to hide behind tied with aa multii coloured light green ribbon and to tell of my secret. That being that I have had several old photo's of my dad, when he was a baby and as a young boy, but I didnt tell my brothers or sisters. Until I started scrapping, then I asked them if they had any, only then did I tell my sisters what I had. Its great as my oldest sister Heather was able to tell me where and when the photo's were taken.

Thi is great as my nieces and nephew are getting alot of family history that they did not know of. This is why i scrap, to share my life and adventures and those of my family.

csi no.39

title - Grandson

This is my grandson Izaak at just 1 year old. We were going to Cranbourne for a day of shopping and found Pixie photo's there and decided to have Izaak's photo done.

 

They took several photo's this one and another with a yellow hard hat and trucks. Izaak learnt that if he smiled he would get something to play with, one rubber duck then two. His good mood lasted until after the photo's were taken.

Izaaks life lesson's were:- don't nag your mum because she would get mad and put you on time out on your bed.

If you are really good you get a nice reward, maybe a toy or a piece  of fruit, later on in life a lolly.

 

Izaak loves playing his guitar, which he hangs on his wall, and he has had 3 buggies

Sam, Dean and Buddy, he also has one dog called spike.

1941 Chic Fashion

 

 

     These photo's are of family members and friends of my mother's. Heather is the one with the trophy and coins and photo of a young man or boy, but you may not be able to see that. This photo was  taken on Mothers day 1941. My mum must have know what this meant. The other photo's were taken with heather on the gate, some where in and round Korumburrra or there abouts, as that's where most of them lived.
      The lady on the grass resting is a good friend. Mum always said that they would ride their bikes everywhere, from Korumbuura to poowong for the dances.They would even ride futher if need be.

     The last photo is a family member Pearl perks, on my mum's mother's side of the family. Don't you just love the hairstyles, the gloves and the clutch purses. Very stylish.

My mum would have been about seventeen at the time these photo's were taken..
