HAPPY ~ SCRAP AFRICA

Hello ! 
The 70's was a Happy Time for me. Young and carefree, everyone was happy and just having a good time. The colours in the moodboard  challenge at Scrap Africa screamed the 70's to me



Thank you Lizzy for the large material flower , so 70's . I am enjoying using the die cuts and PL cards from the Reject shop, they also have a 70's feel to them , probably why they appeal to me. I have been using a lot of my old, old PP's of late. It is always a good feeling to use up old stash.



The photo's back then are certainly not the quality of today, but this photo still evokes good memories none the less. Just chilling in the sun with my friend. We grew up together, along with two more of her sisters, went to the same school, caught the same bus and I spent a lot of my weekends at their place. ( they called me their adopted sister ). Their dear Mum used to bring us breakfast in bed, which I thought was just wonderful.


Thank you for calling by
Peace out
Mary x

Fabulous happy colours and papers, love the cluster and what a precious photo! And we probably didn't take as many photos either in those days! And we had to wait to get the film developed and see if the photos turned out! Ah those were the days!!!

Ahhh they were the days Mary! Carefree and I think we've already established why we were so happy and relaxed in those days :D I love these vibrant papers, they work really well for a 70's theme. I still haven't checked out my local Reject Shop :( Thanks for playing along at Scrap Africa xx
