Grandparents

I had lots of fun playing along with CSI challenge 254, which can be found here:
http://csichallenge.blogspot.com/. Such pretty colors to play with.

For this layout, I created a background with die cut hexagons (edged with black ink). Most of the die cuts were created with Kaisercraft's Cottage Rose collection (in the 65 x 6.5 size).
I also used some vintage stickers from TPC for the top and bottom borders and under the photo.

For CSI 254, I used all the colors, floral patterns, flowers, gold elements, and vintage elements. I journaled on a label about my grandparents, who were sharing a meal together in this photo, circa 1968.

My layout:

State Fair

For CSI 253, we have a bright and summery palette, and I had the perfect picture and papers to scrap this.  When a was a teenager, I got to go to the state fair with my cousins. And the colors of the picture matched nicely with Graphic 45's World Fair collection.


The challenge:

My layout: I used solid cardstock, stripes, hand cutting and metal (brad). I Fussy cut the balloons out of the Graphic 45 paper. I also used some simple stories enamel dots and a layered colorbok flower.


My journaling was hand written and reads State Fair 1986. With Cathy, Theresa and crew. (hidden--we had lots of fun, got to see Chicago in concert, one of my favorite music groups in the 80's)
