I was born in 1950 and devoid of any imagination this week, I decided to use a photo of myself about 5 months old - the photo was taken at City Studios in Townsville, Queensland, Australia on 1 November 1950. I have used a photocopy of my original birth certificate ( reduced in size) as the background. I scanned the original photo and printed it then covered it with tea bag paper to give it an aged 64 year old look. As embellishments, I found in my stash a little scrap booking metal set which somehow seemed to work, and an old tatted motif ( Tatting must have been more popular in the 1950's?) So much fun going back in time...
Oh, you were a sweet baby! Great idea with the birth certificate background, too! Valerie
