Hello there,
A very warm welcome to my crafty space where I am sharing a memory with you. Remember those days when we had camera rolls and pictures, atleast we would have them in an album to flip through. The digital age, makes memories but no time to revisit them easily. Unless you get the prints out. Do you also remember how as kids we would be excited when the camera was out, for special occasions mostly, birthdays, cousins visiting, picnics, outings? I tried to recreate those years, with the kids-all happy and the pets- all jumpy!
The fabulous die cut was gifted by my very talented card making friend Deepti Aggarwal and I knew I must do something that makes us all nostalgic.
Bright smiles on the kids, brightened every one's day, even while flipping the albums.
I adore these kids, they remind me of me, my brother and our cousins. I tried to create a different background on each of the frame, and then the kids on the foreground. To fit them in the frame I had to chop off some body parts..oohh.. it hurt me too... and am so sorry I had to do it! I loved to make the little elements and fit them together, but I also loved to think of the props for my picture. And I tried to get my memories out of the treasure box for making my props. Tawish, Ishani, Siddharth and Madhuri - that's us in the pictures and the pets (actually we never had any), but they look cute in our pictures!
Family always come first, one of the Rakhi gifts I got from my brother said "Friends come, friends go, sisters are forever." So lovely and so true.
As adults, at times we forget to gather happy moments, we must pause and create the moments that will be remembered when we are older. Glad that as kids we did, I hope we continue and also hope, that you liked the trip to the childhood!
