Throwback Thursday

Well, it's time to dig in the vaults again this week.
This time we are going back to 1969 and the last time I ever had a short haircut.
I was 13 years old and this was my 7th grade school picture.
Shortly after this someone called me "Sonny" and I vowed to never have short hair again.
(Of course I was not wearing a dress when that happened...but STILL..really "Sonny!"

I hand drew the notes, as I couldn't find any tiny note stamps in my stash and then used black bling from EyeLet Outlet to pop up the notes and some fun colorful flower stickers from The Paper Studio.   Although the photo doesn't really show it, the cat is stamped on the background and then stamped separately on another piece of white cardstock and fussy cut and layered on the background with foam tape.  Found some blue cardstock to match in my stash and layered the sentime

Thanks for stopping in and feel free to leave me a comment and let you me know you stopped by! Anna I didn't have the Fringe Die so I  cut my grass by hand.  I looked at the picture of the die and sized my grass to match  Tim's.  I had Green Co-ordinations but not the Kraft one...so my grass is green on both sides of the fence.  I sanded the paper first and then gave it a good dose of Walnut Stain Distress Ink before cutting.  Then after I put it on my tag, I gave it a little hint of Picked Raspberry. Then in the meantime "Sneake
