Something old, something new

Something old, something new,something borrowed, something blue.  Oh wait this isn't a wedding...The current challenge at lasting memories is something old , something new.  It could be an old picture, paper, embellishment, old habits, whatever and the something new could be a new technique,the latest scrap gift from the holidays, you get the idea.  Really open to interpretation.  So clue us into to your old and new

For me I really couldn't escape using blue on this layout of my Dad.  So yes the picture is old probably early 1950's, but I also used older card stock that I freshened up with a little misting.   I tried doing a mask technique and didn't like the results so I hid it under the wood grain paper.  The other older items are the blue ribbon and the vinyl stickers that I inherited.  Everything else is new.  Most of the patterned paper is from my all about boys stack that I ordered on cyber Monday.  The hearts are extras from a girl scout project.
I was inspired by sketch #1 at LCOM


Hope you'll join us this week at lasting memories
