I'm Gonna Learn How To Fly - CSI #39

For my father's 70th birthday we arranged for for him to have a flying experience in a Gypsy Moth. I have been meaning to scrap this photo ever since the flight during the summer after his birthday in 2004.  As he is 79 today I thought it was time!


This layout is my solution to CSI Case # 39.

A few close up views
This frame was made with Fimo Light and a Martha Stewart mold. Then it was painted with Titanium Gold acrylic paint before rubbing with Craft - T metallic rub on.
The leaves are punched with a Martha Stewart frond punch.


Some images are already on the papers including the news print.
The papers are Bo Bunny's Country Garden, I added rubber stamps from my Mississippi Memories Postage collection and some Hero Arts Biplane stamp.


The butterflies were cut from the paper scraps and flower stamen added for antennae  All glittered with Ice Stickles - crystal ice.

I used my new Memory Box dies for the railings and gate.


The title is created with My Little Shoe Box - Creme Brulee Tiny Type, and American Craft Thickers. The title is from the lyrics of Fame by Irene Cara.
