Another 'VINTAGE' Layout!

Still using  GLITTER GIRL'S inspiration, I managed this page



of the first holiday we ' Girls' went on in 1976...if you are asking yourself who the heck  'The Girls' are- check out THIS Post.




The sketch is from SCRAPBOOK CHALLENGES (#285) and I was told of another Challenge Site called Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge, which is encouraging us to scrap our own stories. The current Challenge is for a school break you experienced, so it also qualifies for that.

Hope you've had a lovely weekend..please pop back tomorrow, for the chance to be put in the draw for a wonderful book- part of PASS THE BOOK YR2!

Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you
Alison xx

  4. I really wish I'd taken more photos when I was younger, I don't have any from my first holiday with friends which is such a shame. This is a great layout and those photos are so obviously from the late 70s - and the colours you have used are just great for that era.
