SCRAP THAT SONG NEW CHALLENGE

The challenge for this month over at Scrap That Song is to pick a song from the year you were born. Well being old :( I had know Idea what songs were even around at that time. So I googled songs for that year and picked the only one I even knew, and lucky I Kinda like it. It's one of those songs that gets stuck in your head and it has nice lyrics so that's Good. I think I even vaguely remember singing this to my children at times.




And here is my layout


This is my eldest Son Joseph playing in the back yard (isn't he cute ) Just click on photo to get a clearer picture.
and some closies
The buttons from My2Angels http://www.my2angels.net/ were perfect as they look like old coat buttons, the little key and lock are also from My2Angels. Twine is from Craftqueen.






Used a springy , wiry thingy and the gorgeous braid is from Craftqeen.
 Miss Kim  http://lifeisabalancingactx8.blogspot.com.au/  shared the idea of tearing canvas and colouring. I have used Pan Pastels to colour the little pieces of Canvas. Kim is one super talented lady, you should visit her blog, you won't be disappointed ~ Fabulous.
Would love to see what songs you come up with for the year you were born. PLEASE join us at Scrap That Song.
Hope you are staying warm and dry in your part of the country. Raining, raining, raining here and winter seems to have begun :(
Have a wonderful weekend. I am going to go and get ready now to spend the day with my scrapping buddies Miss Annette and Miss Kim :)
Hugs
