Circa 1910


This weekend I had the opporunity to scrap for fun! So, I decided to scrap this photo of my Grandmother Clara and her baby brother. We just found this treasure of a photo last week and I wanted to scrap it right away! I also wanted to use the sketch ny Nadia Cannizzo over at
Once upon a Sketch. Although you are also supposed to use the year as your title, in this instance the year is "circa 1910." More of a subtitle in this instance. But I loved the sketch and wanted to play along. Since I don't know much else about the photo, my journaling is their names, the relationship  and the estimated year.

I also had the opportunity to use some of my Pion Design's Studio of Memories paper that I got at Flying Unicorn Store. Gorgeous stuff, I'm telling you! (I just got Pion's Waiting for Santa II in the mail from there as well .. love it! ) I paired my papers with some yummy Prima florals and bling .. along with a great piece of Dusty Attic that I inked with Black Soot. Then I threw in a few handmade roses from Alda's store, some butterflies and lace.

This was fun! I hope to have more time to plan along with Nadia's challenge blog in the near future!
