Letter "Y"

I'm a bit behind in my tag-making.  Here in Colorado we have had a fire; you may have heard about it.  It was the most damaging in our state's history, with 511 homes burned.  The Black Forest fire was about 2 miles from my house but we are safe and have had a minimum of inconvenience, except for that first night we were evacuated.  In the mix, I also started a new full time job which is pretty awesome but also VERY time-consuming.  I'm just about getting used to the new schedule/getting caught up after 3 weeks on the job.

So for my "Y" tag, I decided on the word, Yesterday.  I am of the generation that will always associate that word with The Beatles. Just last night I was watching a documentary about musician Jeff Lynne in which Paul McCartney was interviewed.  It was like visiting with an old friend.  I was born the year the Beatles crossed the pond to America, and they have been a musical influence on me my whole life through.

For this tag, I matched the cute little girl's dresses with polka dotted paper and polka dotted washi tape, too.  I mixed the pastel pinks and the bright reds with aqua, because red and aqua is sometimes unexpected but always, I think, a great color combination.  The red tag is a true vintage Dennison tag from my collection.  The little girl's short hair reminds me of my own when I was in Kindergarten -- which was the same year I first remember hearing and enjoying a Beatle's song.

 

I even think the dress I'm wearing here in 1969 is similar to the one the little dark-haired girl is wearing in the graphic. I'm enjoying all your tags and being a part of this blog; thank you for the fun and the distraction!
