Throwback photo LM#554

It's time for Lasting Memories fifth and last challenge of the month. For the month of June, LM is doing all about photos for inspiration challenges- This time, use a photo that is at least 10 years old.  If you don't have an old photo, create a layout using a selfie.  Since I just Chapereoned JCHS 2021 Prom I thought I'd dig out this gem from 1990. I used some older paper too as that is a requirement for the TSR challenge.(You must use at least one item on your page that has been in your stash for at least one year.)

I rotated the TSR throwback sketch and used "Scenic Route" clearance items from when Ben Franklin closed in Eugene.

This lovely picture of my date Robert and myself at my Junior Prom. Robert was kind enough to be my date as my boyfriend was taking college finals and I couldn't think of anyone else I would rather have spent the evening with other than my big, little brother. I would spend hours at Roberts's house talking with him about life and love.

I took all my cues from the sketch and tried my hand at some mixed media and stencils. I used white paint mixed with marigold shimmerz and then splattered with old yeller inklingz and radiant rain yellow. I fussy cut the flowers from the patterend paper and popped it up on foam. mixed in some red enamel dots and the orange gems with the gold foliage that matches the smile script I used for my title.

 And here a shot of me at the photo station for this year's Prom
