Okay. The theme for this canvas is vintage memorabilia that is personal to you. I made a girl for my mom's bday (so I thought) and then I had this lesson and this will be hers. The canvas is copies of things that I have of my mom's. I then kind of 'whitewashed' the whole thing with Tattered Angels, wet brushed that, then kind of washed it off. It still left a brownish tint which is what I wanted. I dry brushed the edges and randomly through the finished background. I will finish this one this weekend.

| This is nearly the whole canvas. I love my new typewriter stamp!!! |
 |
| The 'passport' is another roller stamp The blue chicken wire looking thing is actually blue paint on the bottom of a spring basket that I cut up. I got it at the dollar store and it so looks like chicken wire. The background is a recipe in my grandmother's handwriting. Thought that mom would like that. |
 |
| This background is my great grandfather's conductor's pass that I found. It's from 1922. |
 |
| Okay, this is funny. The blue background is a copy of my mom's college 3-ring binder cover. I can't believe I have that. She wrote Carl Edward Day all over it (dad's name). I think he was all she was thinking about. He was at Ft. Leonard Wood at the time. |
 |
| Note the Fort Leonard Wood stationary. Here you can see the remnants of the mist I used. |
 |
| The top document is a copy of the letter dad sent to mom. I have all of his love letters to her from when he was in the service. She gave them to me for some reason. Okay now I am not going to read them because I tried at it grossed me out. Yuck. Some things aren't meant to be shared. |
