Butter Beer - 2012

For a challenge over at ScrapShotz to use a silly photo of yourself. 

Here I am at Universal Studies drinking some butter beer in Harry Potter World. Yum!

Halloween 1981

For a challenge over at SSZ to do a layout WITHOUT any photos.  I used some old K&Company paper here. 

I had already done this story back in 2009 but I hated it. Not only was the year wrong, the journaling was crooked.  So this was a good opportunity to redo an important story.

It's the story of how DH and I met, at a Halloween party (he was dressed as Fred Flintstone - yababadoo). I don't have photos of him or I at this event.

SSZ October Kit

The ScrapShotz October kit included the paper line called Harvest Lane by Simple Stories, Bazzill Cardstock, BoBunny buttons and bling, some canvas trim and Studio Calico canvas leaf stickers.  This is my last kit as Design Team member : ( 

I did 3 layouts, 2 cards (not shown) and a Welcome Sign.

This first layout is based on the sketch provided and are of photos taken when my Mom and I first met Dad's Canadian family in Snelgrove (just outside Toronto), in 1954.  I'm the baby in the photo.

The second layout is a simple one showcasing a photo of the PG5 (minus one) having lunch on one of our PG5 weekends. This was the first time I ever ate a club sandwich (really!) 

The third layout is of my little brother and our dog Queenie in 1959 (France).  That dog would let my little brother do anything to her.

The welcome sign was made by altering a Dollar Store sign with the paper in the kit. I also added some inked grungeboard alphas and hung it with some ribbon from my stash.
