dreams come true...

Hi everyone, The photo on this LO is of my immediate family, taken at my parents' Golden weddinig anniversary -hence the use of 'gold' colours...to me its amazing to be married that long...

...50th Wedding Anniversary 2/9/61 - 2/9/11...

 There was 1 great-grandson missing that night and there's been another grandaughter born since...I dare say the family is just getting bigger and better !!! You can see I've been playing with paint again, as well as microbeads and our new sewing machine :)

 I've created this LO firstly to be included in my book "all about me" over at the Boxx group.

 I've designed the LO using the Dusty Attic May sketch challenge – the only criteria is to use Dusty Attic products !!

I usually purchase my Dusty Attic chippies from Scrapping Outback here.
Also submitting for "Scrap Your Crap" challenge#65 - to use Chipboard :)

I've used supplies from One of the May Scrapping Outback’s DT kits – this one is by the infamously talented Alicia Barry – btw I managed to afford this by spending the BONUS dollars I received in April – just because I uploaded my Lay Outs into the SO April challenge gallery…you can receive up to $22 bonus dollars this month…just visit THIS LINK.

I made the flowers myself from the cardstock

Bazzill cardstock; Authentique (Genuine-“True”) pp; Dusty Attic chipboard (part of DA0547 Wrought Iron Trim set, title word dreams part of DA0386 Mini Words and DA0469 Fancy Trim set#3); sewing machine stitching; Jo Sonja’s paints (Ultramarine deep blue and Napthol red light); Reeves Acrylic colour (gold); Carl punch (butterfly); Nestabilities (yellow & blue flowers home made by Mazz); Helmar 450 quick dry adhesive; double sided foam tape; ribbon; stick pins; Stamp Effects Micro beads (metallic gold); Making Memories ink (gold);  Hero Arts embossing powder (clear); Watermark stamp pad (dazzle); Stamp-It Ancient Golds Embossing Powder (enchanted); Ranger liquid pearls (gold pearl); Artee Supplies embossing powder (gold); unknown alpha stickers; blue Tombow pen.
