EVERYDAY ADVENTURE ~ A 2 Z SCRAPLETS

Hello !

Gosh a new month brings so many layouts to share! Today I will share a couple I have done for A 2 Z scraplets. 
The new challenge is up on facebook here  and  a look at the challenge inspirtation

I was inspired by the little tents, made me think of our camping days when our children were little

I have used the corner chippies and embossed them with Orange Zing to brighten the layout.

The chippy is a fab addition to frame the layout.
The photo quality is not the best, unfortunately a lot of the older photo's are not so great, but still hold the memory. We loved camping (now days I prefer comfort) , but camping was a lot of fun when the children were little, out in the fresh air and nature, nothing better. Sometimes we would go with two other families , as in this photo. So 6 adults and 8 children. Our campsite was a shambles , but it didn't matter
.
The next layout I would like to share is totally the opposite. A vintage layout.
It is a photo of Dad and myself, once again the photo quality is poor, but I have always loved this photo (not even sure who snapped it ) ,so I thought I should scrap it.

The lovely big flourish from A 2 Z Scraplets is perfect. I painted it with gesso and then used a ink blender to cover the flourish with Tim Holtz Vintage paper ink.

Besides the gorgeous flourish  and the frame from Lizzy, every thing on this layout is OLD ! The circle of material my photo is sitting on is from a old vintage hat , this round piece used to sit on the side of the hat , covered in flowers, which I have since  taken off and used on various layouts. The little beads were in a jar in my Mum's craft stash, so I have adhered them to the circle hat piece .The flowers are from my Mums stash as well .The photo is old :) and the Graphic 45 Paper I have had for AGES 

It suddenly occurred to me whilst scrapping the photo why it is so special to me. Besides a couple of photo's taken by the photographer of Dad walking me down the aisle, this is the only other photo of me and Dad together , just the two of us.

Thank you for calling by, I hope you have enjoyed your long weekend , nearly over :( and I hope you can join us in the challenge at A 2 Z scraplets
Love, Peace and kindness
