The 1950s



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...
