And of course -- that mom and sweet baby!
On the back, I chose a tongue-in-cheek phrase from a page of an old womens' magazine. I love hanging out here on the Tag Tuesday blog; thanks for playing along!

Mother and child
A couple of years ago I found a wonderful photo taken in one of those photo booths of a mother and child; because the mother is older, many people who saw it said they thought it was a grandmother, or aunt -- not a mother. Well, I was an older mom myself, so I do not feel it is out of the realm of possibility that this is truly the mom:
I used a piece of scrap book paper with the phrase, Do You Remember? as the base for this tag; some of the embellishments are washi tape, vintage wall paper, mother of pearl buttons in different shades, string and antique quilt pieces.

Very well done! Like the addition to the back. I'm an older mom too :) which is more common today.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely vintage feel to your tag Laurie and I'm with you, she could well be the child's mother. Vintage photos often make people look older than they really were I think.
ReplyDeleteA beautifully layered tag.
