SOME DAYS ARE IN COLOUR , OTHERS ARE NOT ~ CHALLENGE AT HOME AND SCRAPPED

Hi all , it is Fathers day here in Australia, so Happy Father's Day to all the Dads & Grandads, I hope you have all had a lovely day with your families
Over at Home and Scrapped , a lovely friendly site to visit and join in the chat and challenges, Bec set the challenge to do a layout of Yourself and journal about yourself and use some papers you love but have been hanging onto
Now I hate taking selfies, they always turn out terrible (possibly the subject matter) but I took this whilst we were staying at our sons for a couple of days while we were renovating, and I don't mind it as the sun rays kind of hide me anyway :)
I have had these PP"s for ages. I was hanging onto them thinking I would do a mini album with them. I just love the colours and the vintage feel I think that is why they appeal to me.
Now Lizzy  I know I have stated that I don't like scrapping with purple, but this mist was suppose to be Cranberry and I was thinking a more crimson colour, but it turned out purplish ! 
Trims from Craftqueen , the button may have been from Scrapfriends I think . I have used the flower pattern embossing folder on the texture paste to represent the 70's when I was a teenager ( you know flower power etc )

I thought I had a little key for the lock but must have used it, so I will have to get me another one.
Thank you for calling by, and pop over to Home & Scrapped they have a lot of challenges and are a friendly bunch. Also keep an eye out for Orange Paperie's new challenge in the next few days and ColorMeScrappy new challenge will be posted tomorrow
Love and Peace
