Description: This photo is of me with my oldest, Joshua when he was six weeks old. We were at my mother's house and he had just finished nursing - and was very content to lay there and fall asleep (me too!). This is probably my favorite of us together because it is one of the few photos that I have where I don't look worn out. The week I came home with him, I started having gallstone attacks, and I lived with pretty constant pain for about five months - till I finally consented to surgery. Anyway - most I my pics from that time are pretty awful because that's how I felt. TFL!!!!
The photo was not the best quality(old) and the colors!!! (very '80's) LOL! So I turned it to b/w and added some warmth to it. I left small white edges on the photo and cut it with Fiskars deckle scissors. The moon and larger stars were cut by hand and inked. The letters were drawn with a Zig pen then chalked. Then, I stamped around the edges of the bg paper.

Really nice LO. I like how the moon is "hugging" the photo- very cozy. Also, thank you for your detailed description of how you created this LO. I am really inspired to go tackle some old photos now!
