My mom made this skirt for me like the

poodle skirts of the era, only this one

has a sequined tree on it. This is a black

and white photo and I’m guessing that

the skirt was red. I was 7 years old

and this was my first bike.

Pat, what a wonderful LO! I bet you would have never thought to scrap this picture if it weren't for that challenge. I'm so glad you did ... what a wonderful memory and such a fun photo ... gosh, don't you just love the big bikes?!! I love your pretty green paper and your folded corner!

What a fantastic photo! I just love poodle skirts too so having a tree on it is a really cute idea! And I just love the colors and the pretty swirly font! I also really like how you have the tag hanging from the folded corner. Very pretty LO!

What gorgeous paper! Is that a Schwinn Collegiate bike? Everyone wanted one back then. Wonderful memories, great layout.

I really like this LO! I think the skirt looks great colored red. How did you get the patterned paper on the paper curl to look like the backside? Dis you adjust the opacity of the curl?? I love green, gold, and red together - very Christmassy! :D
