Scrapbook pages from my Aunt's 80th Birthday

I made these scrapbook pages for  my aunt, who  didn't want any of her pictures posted so some I turned over after I gave it some thought and others I had already completed so I had I had to get creative to cover them up when I took pictures.


This is page one, I took the idea from a Tim Holtz page called "love burlap"  and I altered it some to make it my own.

Page 2,  the background is all freehand, you can't tell I'm a butterfly person can you!

This picture is actually sideways but its the background for page 2.

Page 3, the background started with a tree stencil but I added to it to finish the look.

I love this page. The page is a mix of scrapbook paper,  cricut cartridges for the birds and one of the cages, the feathers are wooden stamps and the tree branch is a mod podge mold with glue sticks.

The top picture is of my Great grandparents and the bottom is of my grandparents the paternal side.  This scrapbook paper is the sister to the one above.  Again I made the cages, branches and birds.
This page is from my stash of scrapbook paper the pages were so special I had to find just the right time to use them.

My Aunt was in the Air Force in the 50's she refuses to give details except to say she was a dental tech.  I found a couple of pictures of her and her siblings those went on the stars.  I hand stitched the stars with red white and blue ribbons.
