7 YEARS ~ SCRAP IT WITH A SONG

Hello !
Today I am sharing my layout for the current challenge at Scrap it with a Song. The two song choices are ~

Radio Head ~ all I need
or 
Lukas Graham ~ 7 years

The song I chose is 7 years (as I do really like the song) and it inspired me to do a layout about the passing of the years (gees I have to say they pass VERY quickly !)

Once again I am using a Piece of PP I got for 20 cents ! I used it as I thought it was appropriate with all the numbers. I have misted, textured paste , paints and lots of stamping . The stamps I used are clocks and numbers, again alluding to the passing of time , Oh and a ruler stamp as well. I used the mistable numbers 7, 30 and 60 as in the song. Not sure how old I am in the top pic , I'm in my 40's in the second ( I realized I spent my middle 20's and 30's just taking photo's of my children every time they moved lol and the last I am in my mid 50's . Now I am very close to .......60 ! :{
I wanted to use the photo with Mum as again I think it represents the passing of time , Me heading towards 60 and Mum on her 95th Birthday. I also used the words from the song "I hope my children visit once or twice a month" I guess in the end that is all we hope for . The flair is from Flutterby designs

In the top photo I remember that dress , Green tartan , Mum made it , as she did with most of my clothes. I would say we have just got home from Mass as Mum is in the background with her hat and coat on and reading the Paper , which we would have picked up at the little corner shop just down the road on the way home. A little trip down memory lane.
"I'm still learning about life " again words from the song, as I think I am still learning about life, do we ever stop learning. Some lessons harder than others.

The orange and white daisy braid is from my Mum's craft stash as is the old pink ribbon . I always like to add these little bits of treasures (to me) on my layouts. A fellow scrapper from the states sent me the lovely leaf die cuts, I love them , thank You Mitzi.
This is what I love about Scrapping, it really does take you back to the time and the memories , that otherwise may stay locked  away somewhere in our minds, just waiting for that little opening to bring it all back.
Thank you for calling by and I hope your week is being a good one.

Love, Peace and Kindness
