This month,
Artastic's challenge involves a Mary Cassat painting in honour of Mother's day. While I am a big fan of Cassat, I found it a little difficult to find just the right photos for this challenge. I scoured everything I have. Mom and baby photos of my son and I have long since been scrapped. I did find some vintage photos which I have been meaning to get into albums, so I chose one of those. It's a photo of my grandparents holding my uncle.

I love that I was able to use vintage buttons from my great-grandmother's button box on this page!I feel it's kind of a nice touch and adds a little memorabilia as well.
I love this LO! The colours are wonderful, the design doesn't overwhelm the photo (which I find a lot of vintage LOs do) and I think it's fabulous that you used buttons of your great-grandma's on the page!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful LO, Christy! I love the sentiment behind your LO with the use of your grandmother's buttons and the great color scheme. Thanks for joining us at ARTastic!
