Creativity Challenge Post

I created this for a challenge for a class that I'm taking at Big Picture Scrapbooking. I found these egg beaters at a garage sale in town. (The woman said, "That's an antique! Do you want to buy this too? It's an antique." She was trying to get me to purchase an old meat grinder. Of course I have NO place to put an antique meat grinder. So I passed.) But I love this and decided to add some antique photos and some antique seam binding.
I used copper tape to solder around a pair of glass microscope slides and filled them with antique photos of my family. This photo is my great grandma, Viola. I was touched that my kids saw the resemblance between her and I. I can see it too. I also think that my sister Kate looks like her.


This photo is of my grandpa (he's the little one in the back), Aunt Mazie, Uncle Joe, Uncle Stub (Adelbert). I think it is so great that grandma and grandpa had all of these awesome photos of their families. And I think they look great in the soldered frames!
Also-Sarah-I'm planning on taking Yesterday and Today which begins in October. The class is taught by Ali Edwards (for 3 months) and I'm really excited about it. She has some info on her blog about it too. (Just in case you miss out on those Master's classes and need something to do...ha!)
Have a great weekend! I'm hoping to fit in some creativity somewhere over the weekend!

Project Challenge and Project 365

Project 365 for July-finally finished!

I created this page using inspiration from Jenni Bowlin's handout from her Big Picture Scrapbooking Class. The challenge was to use the vintage dennison labels {that came in the challenge packet} in a project. I decided to use the I grabbed the first photo that I could find on my desk that inspired me. The photo was taken at a rest area where we stopped to eat lunch on our way to Disney last year. Happy Wednesday!
