January 12: Throwback Photo (Photography Challenge)

MOC6 - Jan 12 - Throwback Photo
Elements and paper are from TLP Storyteller files from various months.

Journaling reads:
This picture is one of the few pictures taken of me as a child. I was between 18 - 24 mths old when this was taken. My mother had portraits done of the four of us - all with a nautical theme. Vickie and Tina had outfits similar to mine, but they were pant suits and Carl was in a navy blue nautical pant suit -the style of the late 60’s early 70’s. This image is actually a picture of a picture. The original was in my Grandpa and Grandma Dell’s house in California when I saw it for the first time. I was 18. Prior to that I hadn’t seen any pictures of me as a young child before school age. I was immediately enthralled with this photograph and I wanted to take it with me. But Grandma Trudy was adamant that it stay in her house. When she passed, all of her pictures were given to a careless aunt, who stored them in her garage. Later, her children, my cousins, cleaned out the garage and threw away items they thought were junk. Now all I have is this picture of a picture.

 

Day 12: Throwback Photo
I don't know exactly when this photo was taken but I have said in the journaling that is in the '60s or early '70s.

The photo in the bottom left is from June 2010, my daughter's first dance recital. I put that costume on a stuffed bear (right) and gave it to her on the last night of her last recital (top left).

 

Karen, fantastic challenge, thank you!

 

I am not sure that I would have thought to do this page if it weren't for the challenge. I also realized that the July 2017 storyteller is a great kit for birthdays.

 

Karen... I had so many photos I wanted to scrap for this, I may come up with another one or two pages!!!!!! <3 LOVE this!!!!! but to be able to get in time, here is one.....
