Summer of 82. Pirates of Penzance. Kristy McNicholl and Leif Garrett had the starring roles. I'm sitting in the theatre with a friend of mine, a guy friend. The movie was terrible, but I was happy to be with my friend. Being with him was easy, like being with my brother. I was sure he felt the same... But after the movie, and at the bus stop, he tells me he wants to take our relationship to the next level. Oh my! I hope I didn't break his heart, but I just didn't return the feelings! He must have been ok with it, or at least got over me quickly, because within a year he was engaged to a wonderful girl that he is still happily married to! What an awful movie, but what a sweet guy!
Images colored with Tombow pens spread with water.
Bg is the treasure map repeated, then distressed like mad!
Anchor is also a stamp cut out (painstakingly!!) with exacto knife.
All stamps by High Hopes Stamps. TFL!

Awesome layout and coloring! Love all the details...I thought the Anchor was a charm when I first saw it cause it looks shiny maybe Crystal Effects...And the Pirate looks like Leif Garrett....My sister loved him....they have some great stuff on youtube of him that will take you back!

That beautifully aged map is just amazing!!
Ilove all the detail in this - the rope and the anchor and all those little brads that remind me of the studs in a treasure chest.
