"Lulu's Loves Vintage" Fabric and Photos

                                          This is a page from my Fabric collage book and these are the parents of the children on the front cover, my Grandparents. I am my worst critic since it is driving me crazy that the  fabric transfer photo puckered on the left side. If I can figure out how to fix it without destroying the page I will, until then this is it. Next time I will know to place a piece of cardboard/chipboard underneath to help it lay flat, but since I didn't realize this was going to happen as this is my first book of this nature, always learning and living with our imperfections. I guess I need to overcome that. Today I'm linking up with Honey of 2805 Potpourri Friday and would like to give her a big "Thank You" for having me as one of her featured  bloggers today. I'm humbled and honored to be chosen, Hugs Honey and thanks again.:)

Lovin' Vintage Photos

                              I just finished the front cover of the fabric Family Photo Album from the class I took in Huntington Beach with the talented and wonderful teacher  KC Willis  and I'm loving playing in fabrics and old family photos. This photo was taken about 1911 which makes it 100 years old, Wow! On the left is my Aunt Vera, center my Uncle Vincent and right my sweet mother Violet, and apparently a new baby would have been born after which would have been my Uncle Victor.  This pic was transfered onto fabric and I have the original. I think my Mom is the cutest, even though she is my Mom!  This album is intended to be a family heirloom  of course and I will be finished in about a week so more wonderful pics are coming. Today I'm joining  Honey at with  Honey 2805 blog party and  Debra at A Common Ground .
