SCRAP AROUND THE WORLD CHALLENGE ~ IF ONLY WE COULD BE YOUNG FOREVER

Morning!
I was inspired by the lovely moodboard over at Scrap Around The World, so I thought I would join in the challenge while I was feeling inspired



I love the soft colours and all the prettiness. Besides the colours I have been inspired by the hearts, the birdhouse ( I have use a decorative frame, and the bunches of flowers I have sprinkled little beads and glitter over my page. I have also used crackle on my page to add to the shabby chic feeling.


Found a nice bit of old lace 
Nice Pink Paislee Hearts 



The Melissa Frances Frame is from Scrapfriends 
How gorgeous are the clear leaves, that I found in a tin of little treasures at my Mum's home
The thread around the outside of the layout is from a big old fashion reel of thread that was my Mothers
Because the PP is not of high quality it did buckle a fair bit, but actually don't mind as I sorted of pleated it I think it added to the shabby chicness :) 

I was a bridesmaid for my brothers wedding in this photo. Looks like I am taking my job very seriously. 
My title reflects how I feel looking back on old photo's. I hate getting old and it has happened in a blink of an eye I guess I have watched my parents age and health decline and see them lose their independence & dealt with their passing and seeing my brothers ageing. You just never think it is going to happen and it happens far to quickly! Anyway enough of that!
Thanks so much for calling by, Pop over to Scrap Around The World and I am sure you will be inspired to get those memories down.
Love and Peace
