The photo from 1949 is of my husband Bob on Santa's lap at the Woodwards Department Store in Vancouver BC. I used some vintage music from a Children's Song Parade book as part of the background and scraps from my Christmas papers. Lots of big mica flake glitter surrounds the entire piece.
Silver thread, glittery brads, a rosette also made from scraps tops a K&Co red glittered snow flake. The hanger was fashioned from a wire clothes hanger. This is inspired by a project I did on a Teresa McFayden e-zine sometime ago. I used a 4x6 copy of the photo to make this a reasonable size.
What a fabulous project! Love that old photo of your DH and Santa! The sheet music is fabulous, and I adore the framework you've created with the die-cut paper and the silver thread. The mica flakes look amazing, too. Thanks for playing along with us this week at TSTR!
