Easter memories 1968

Easter Memories Duffys 1968

The story

I have this wonderful photo of my dad’s older sister’s family (the Duffys) on Easter morning in 1968. All the families are just back from Easter mass and gathered at Nana and Papa’s house. How much do you love their Easter clothes and hats? What a beautiful family.

Happy Easter Sunday to all!

Product/technique notes

I used patterned papers from the BasicGrey Knee Highs collection. The chipboard diecuts are from Crate Paper, and the paper diecuts are from My Mind’s Eye. The glitter “memories” is a Thickers word from American Crafts.

Here comes Peter Cottontail

March 26, 2016 By Janice Daquila-Pardo 3 Comments

Here comes Peter Cottontail is a one-photo scrapbook page with a photo taken on Easter 1971.

This Easter 1971 pic is from a series of photos my dad took of the family in our back yard after returning from Easter Sunday mass. Phil and I were 3 and 4 years old. Can you get over the cuteness of our Easter wear?

May you have a blessed and peace-filled Easter 2016!

Product/technique notes

The background papers and chipboard frames I used are from Crate Paper, and the patterned papers inside the frames are by BasicGrey. The title comes from the 1949 song best known as recorded by Gene Autry.

Matt’s study of information security has inevitably led him to participating in Capture the Flag (CTF) competitions. He has put together an international team of players to tackle the complex infosec puzzles together, and they have been steadily improving their ranking. He really loves the weekends he spends “CTFing.”

Product/technique notes

I used patterned paper (6×6 paper pad) and die cuts from BasicGrey’s Capture collection and hand stitched the circles.

Derbycon 2015: DT layout for Stuck?! Sketches

January 15, 2016 By Janice Daquila-Pardo 1 Comment

This scrapbook page is based on the January 15, 2016, Stuck?! Sketches sketch and uses papers from the BasicGrey Second City collection.

Today Stuck?! Sketches launches our second challenge of 2016. Grab the sketch and play along for some great prizes from Creative Embellishments and Scrapmatts.

Stuck Sketches January 15 2016

Last September my husband, Matt, attended a security conference in Louisville, Kentucky. He has been studying information security pretty intensely for a few years, and he had heard frequently that if you could go to only one con all year it should be Derbycon. It seems he drank the kool-aid because he came back and declared it the one con to rule them all.

The photos are 1) one of the many presentations, 2) crowds milling about at the convention center (with Matt’s friend, Griff, coming up the escalator), 3) part of the crowd at the Dwight Yoakam concert, and 4) a street in downtown Louisville.

Product/technique notes

I used products from BasicGrey’s Second City 6×6 paper pad, chipboard stickers, and alphas.

It looks to me like I was a Santa fan right from the start. This is Christmas morning 1968, and I am deep in it.

Product/technique notes

I cut the wreath design with a Silhouette file and backed the white cardstock with a glittered snowflake paper from My Mind’s Eye. All the other elements came from two different holiday collections by BasicGrey—Evergreen and Eskimo Kisses.

Note: I’m submitting this to the Paper Issues Owl I Want for Christmas link party.
