Feeding the ducks

I discovered this photo a few months back and fell in love with it immediately.It's a very old picture of my mom and her sister in a park,feeding some ducks.I loved it,I loved the theme,the fact it's so old,black and white,I loved everything about it and I knew right from the start I wanted to scrap it and make it into something beautiful.But I couldn't find a way,everything seemed to take away from the photo instead of enhancing it...so it sat there for all these months with me constantly trying to find a way to make it look good but without success.Than a few days back inspiration hit me and I came up with this.It's alongside with another layout I haven't showed you yet,my favorite and I think it's probably the best I've made so far.
The base is again a paper from Dovecraft this time from the Hint of Pink stack.On top of this is again one of the oh so loved Core'dinations papers.The square papers are also from Core'dinations,the Gemstones collection,which is awesome I might add.The two pink butterflies are from a flower pack from JUMBO and I added a glittery sticker in the middle(from Accessorize).The black glittery butterfly on the other hand I bought from a bead shop in Heraklion.It didn't have the glitter on,it was plain brown but I decided i wanted to do something with it,so I added glue on it and then sprinkled the glitter on.I think it turned out pretty cute!The silver letters I found in an old drawer(I think it's one of those sheets that came along with blank videotapes in order for you to be able to write the name of the movie on it),the pink letters I cut in the way I've described in a previous blog post and the white letters are once again from K&Company Life's Journey chipbox(I really should invest in a new chipboard alphabet,lol).
