New Challenge at ColorMeScrappy ~ Birthday Wishes

Hi all
The new challenge is up at ColorMeScrappy and it is a really lovely soft colour palette 
and the twist is to use fabric on your layout

Now the layout is not what I had envisaged that I was going to do. I had soft , romantic, etc 

However I came across these old photo's of my Children with my Parents and I just wanted to scrap them, so...... I did

I love the cheeky look on Christopher's face

The 72 is how old Dad was and the 92 is how old Dad lived to

I have use Croco Crackling on the letters as well as Kindy Glitz and dimensiceal Magic and I have use Dimensiceal Magic on the Simplicity dress pattern

I have journalled on a tag that slides in the side of the photo

and it says 

Celebrating Dad's 72 Birthday. No fancy restaurants, Harbour Cruises or trips for Dad ~ his Idea of a perfect Birthday ~ Dinner and cake at home with his Grandchildren. 

The reason I have added the word Simplicity to the layout , is because Dad enjoyed the simple things in life . Being at his home in a little country town that he lived in all his life, family and friends & he adored his grandchildren.

When Mum and Dad came into town to do their shopping , we would say lets have dinner out and Dad's idea of eating out was buying a meat pie or fish and chips and taking them up to my place to eat (not mine and Mum's idea of lunch out) 

Thank you for calling by . Hope you can join us in this months challenge

Love and Peace
