Here’s the Heritage LO I mentioned on Sunday. The photo is of my husband’s grandparents and aunt, taken in Winnipeg, Canada, where they lived. It was taken during the time when the photos were glued into the plaster frames and then had a felt backing applied. The frame had broken, so I thought I’d scan the photo before fixing it. I didn’t notice until I scanned the photo that his Grandmother is expecting a baby – which would have been his dad; so I was able to date the photo as late fall 1932 since his dad was born in December of 1932. The black background paper and journaling background is from Heather Manning’s Lil’ Black Dress papers kit. I made the “lace” myself using 2 pieces from Kim Broedelet’s Lace and Trim kit. Both of these kits are available at DSO. The photo mat, gloves, and flower are from Glenda Ketchum’s From the Attic Series – I used items from both Mamaw Lucy’s Trunk and A Time for Elegance. Glenda’s items are available at Digitals. The layout was inspired by Lana Rickabugh’s Zelma Neal from the CK’s The Big Idea Book of Heritage Memories pg 14. I had a lot of fun working on this page and plan to send a copy of it to my Father-In-Law for his enjoyment.

I’ve always wanted to say that! Anyhow, you don’t want to miss DSO’s Grab Bag Bonanza – 13 different Personal Use bags full of never before seen products – for less than $3 each! This would be a great time to stock-up and save or to get more designs from your favorite designer(s) or to try out designs from a new-to-you designer…imagine the possibilities! You could use your new stuff to complete a LO for the Scrap’n'Chat tonight (9 Eastern, 6 Pacific) or one of the many challenges at DSO this month – and earn free posting gifts and links to the September Faerie kit. How cool is that?!?

On a different note, for those who are familiar with KimB’s blog and her CT, her lead CT and super layout creator (she’s also been featured on Bunny’s blog) Jazzy, is ill and in the hospital. Kim has created a beautiful mini-kit as a Freebie in honor of Jazzy. So head on over to Kim’s blog to check out the kit and say a little prayer for Jazzy’s speedy recovery. One of the designers at SBM, Michelle McCoy, has also created a special free kit that could be used to create a “Get Well” card for Jazzy (Kim’s kit would be great for that too), so if you’re in a creating kinda mood, perhaps a Get Well card for Jazzy could be emailed to one of the ladies at SBM for forwarding on to Jazzy – after all, we could all use a little “pick-me-up” sometimes!

I’d better run for now – it’s our weekly trip to Wal-Mart for grocery shopping and Nadya still needs a bath (of course she’s sleeping right now!). Hope everyone has a happy Monday and a great week!
