One Sunny Day ~ Scraps of Elegance

Hello friends!  Again, I know I am taking forever to create...but little by little I try.  So here is the page that took me about 2 weeks to finish.  I used Scraps of Elegance products to make this page, following the Dusty Attic May sketch that I flipped around.  Those children in the photo are my aunt and uncle (my mom's siblings) in the late 1920s, I believe.  Sadly, I never had a chance to meet them, they passed away before I was born.  
I used Smooch paint to color the DA chipboard.  I laced up the paper over some actual lace.  Lots of delicate touches here and there, all over the page.
