In my spare time...

(lol) I have started a small album of my childhood memories. The side and back are covered with velveteen paper and the front cover has been inked, Glimmer Misted and embossed. I used Krylons and inks applied with a soft tipped Fantastix to a pressed Ginko leaf and then applied Golden Medium in matt to preserve the delicate leaf.

I've only done the cover and the introduction pages plus a stamped leaf page so far but have gathered items from my stash that reminded me of my childhood to use on other pages.

My baby book was lost in one of our moves so this will be more a journal of my summer memories growing up than it will be a picture album. I plan to devote a couple of pages each to things like my grandmother's garden, the alleyway that linked my grandmother's house to that of my cousins', my neighborhood summer friends, and looking back when my mother and visited the Iowa town for her 50th. high school reunion over ten years ago.

Don't forget to watch for tomorrows blurb here for the Memories in Uniform album give away. Post Friday or Sat and I'll have E do the drawing on Sunday morning and announce then. Thanks
