Pinky

Lee says, KAYA!

I have precious few photos of myself as a child. I am the 7th of 8 children so I think by the time I was born, my parents had had enough of taking photos. :-) I couldn't relate much to the photos, I was too young to have memories, so the journaling is short and written in third person. Note to self: ask family for childhood stories before they are completely forgotten.

These are the original photos, thus the small size. Since I am not inclined to scan them and print them to a bigger scale, this challenge is perfect. While I like how it came out, part of me is still thinking, "sayang ang space. I could put more photos there..."


Journaling:
The story goes that when she was born, she was so pink, they called her - Pinky.

Materials Used:
CS - Bazill, The Paper Company; PPS - We 'R' Memory Keepers; Ink - Clearsnap (cotton and orchid); Ribbon - unknown; Alphabet - American Crafts Thickers; Flowers - Prima; Brads - Making Memories; Adhesive - Kokuyo, Saunders; Puncher - Fiskars.

Process:
Lots of self-control required. It helped to keep saying to oneself, "less is more...less is more..." LOL.

About ME:
I have been incredibly busy the past few weeks, so I am thankful for this 1-a-week-challenge, as I am "obliged" to scrap, fulfilling my "one LO a week" goal. I wish I could scrap more, but I just couldn't help it. There just isn't enough time in a day. Read more about me at The Armchair Scrapper.
