DOWN BY THE CREEK ~ Scrapki Wyzwaniowo September 2014

Hello and welcome
Today I would like to share a layout for the challenge at

Scrapki Wyzwaniowo 



The challenge is to be inspired by the word imagine.

This is my take on the challenge



This is my Dad and Mum when they were quite young. I can only Imagine what life was like back then and I quess we can never imagine our parents being so young and carefree. I think My Dad looks so handsome and my Mum so pretty. 
I am not to sure who the other two boys in the photo are, I will have to see if any of my Aunts know.

I made the flower and the little pink doily on the flower and the pink threads are from Mum's craft treasures. The blue butterfly glass bubble is from Georgia Heald's Etsy shop as is the zipper stamp.


Georgia Healds washi tape from her Etsy shop and Prima "Life" chippie from Craftqueen. The little green squares on the layout are Mosaic tiles. I remember making a teapot stand out of blue, white and brown tiles and I was so proud of it, we had it for years, anyway I digress. 


Thank you for calling by, I appreciate your comments.

Love and Peace 
Mary x
