Dream Car

My cousin Roxanne got a powder blue Ford Mustang in the early 1970's.  I remember the first time I saw it and I knew that was the car I wanted.

Several years later my dream came true.  They no longer had a light blue or any really fun colors.  I ordered black by default since I couldn't decide on anything else.

I drove that car for 13 years and 187,500 miles.  It was wonderful.

Eventually though it wasn't large enough to accomodate my window treatment business.  A year after starting the business and a year of borrowing just about everyone's vehicles to haul things to customer's homes, I broke down and ordered my first van.  I like the space of a van but I certainly miss the Mustang.  I sold it to a man who had always wanted one like mine - the LX model with the larger engine.

All this was many years ago but the events never got scrapped until now.  I actually have the photos my dad took after I received the car for college graduation.  It came in a little early so I actually had it on my birthday.  Mother put the pink bow on top.

I got to use one of these little wood veneer cards from Prima for the page.  Also I had fun playing with mist and Perfect Pearls on the background.

In today's video, I start by showing the completed page.  Of course if you are getting to the video via the blog, you have seen the completed page but I wondered if you like seeing the project before seeing the process.  It came up on a discussion board so I thought I'd try setting up the video that way.

Watch at YouTube:



And here is the sketch for the page:
