For the flower on this page, I started with 2.5" squares and made a kite fold on each square, then adhered the folded papers on a scrap piece of paper, slightly overlapping each piece for the petals. You can find information on tea bag folding here.
The papers are from a 6x6 pad by My Mind's Eye. The photo is of my husbands grandma, sister, mother, and two aunts. I don't know the date, but I'm guessing early 1950's. It was in pretty bad shape, but I was able to clean it up a little bit with Photoshop Elements. I think these old photos are a treasure and should be scrapped, even if there are some scratches and blemishes.
