LO from Christmas Day 1978

Hi folks,



I have just uploaded a LO using "fixed" photos from Christmas Day 1978 in Australia. The colour of the pics is not perfect but considering they had a horrible pinky/brownish hue from rubbish 1970's processing I am quite pleased they have turned out not too bad!! Thanks for looking :o)

That's a great layout! I love how it keeps the feeling of the 70's! how did you do the letteing?

Thanks for sharing,

Thanks Jessica :o) If you mean the lettering down the right hand side...it is written with a Krylon Gold Leafing pen....freehand. Because the cardstock is heavily textured it almost looks like a rub-on...when viewed online. It doesn't look like that IRL :o) The writing around the red central mat is done with a black Sakura glaze pen..so has a slightly raised effect.

The pictures turned out great! Nice LO. I'm going to have to fiddle faddle around with some 1970's photos as well. One of these days.

Great LO Marilyn! It all comes together very nicely. I really like the lettering you did down the side. I'll have to see if I can find a gold leafing pen like you said you used.
