FUN with PHOTOS ...

It's Crafty Secrets time and there are all sorts of things happening with Crafty Secrets right now.  Here's a hint:

6 DAYS if FUN with over $500.00 in BLOG CANDY GIVEAWAYS from our Design Team, Free Printables, a Cool Contest, SPECIALS and NEW PRODUCT Releases!  ... you can check out all the details HERE.
It's also time to play the SCS forum Crafty Secrets Challenge which is tied in with all this fun!  We are to use PHOTOS on our creations and since I'm in the process of creating MY OWN 8x8 Vintage Style Album ... this tied in perfectly.


Now ... as long as you can hold the LAUGHTER ... I will share my "vintage" photo creation with you ... REMEMBER ... NO LAUGHING ALLOWED!!   A little chuckle, snicker or smile is acceptable!!

OKAY ... there you have it!  This is my older sister, Linda & myself way back in 1956 posing for one of our dance recital routine photos.  We started dancing when we were 3 & 4 years old and took dancing for 13 years.  We did go back to dancing together as adults and even competed in N.C. at the "Showstoppers" competition.  Did pretty darn good ... if I do say so myself!!  LOL!!   Then came the grand kids and arthritis .... so, THAT WAS THE END OF THAT!!


I have used the Crafty Secrets "Couple of Cuties" stamp set and also their "Classic dp" on this creation.  I've used ZIG Photo Markers for the coloring on my black/white photo ... Prismacolor markers for the ribbon and a gold American Crafts glitter pen for the angels wings.  On the inner edge I have added a strip of black cardstock then tied them together with vintage lace trim.  Kaiser pearls and Creative Memories sticker numbers helped identify the time frame on this image.


I hope you enjoyed my "Fun with Photos" page!  Thanks for stopping by today!  Please hop on over the CRAFTY SECRETS and see what all the excitement is about!  There are also a lot of new products Sandy has to share with you too ... please ... check it out!!
