A LONG TIME AGO ~ KRAFTPLUS

Hello ! I have not been too motivated today, hot , hot again. 
I did do a layout for the Kraft Plus Challenge though, I really like the sketch



I  have dug some pics out of the archives (my kids will prob be totally embarrassed )



Date ..... A Long Time Ago


Now my bikini wearing days was short. I could never get the top to fit properly (as I have no boobs and still don't , sorry too much information) But the kids can see that there was a time that their Mum was indeed young.




I have found some old bottle tops tucked away and used them lately as a embellishment. So I am happy to have used some old stash ( I have stacks of die cuts , so great to being using them lately as well and to have document some old, poor quality photos.
Talking about die cuts , I have some birthdays this month and have made some cards



This one for my Grand Daughter



And this one for my son in law

Thank you for calling by , please let me know you were here.
Love , Peace and Kindness
Mary x

I love your LO Mary, how wonderful to have some older photos to scrap, and I hear you about finding old stash to use up too! Just when I think I've purged a huge amount, I find something else from the depths! Loving those cards too :)

That's a fantastic page....I love that you've placed the photos like the sketch, I think that would be a challenge by itself! And yup! You were young AND wore a bikini. Tom reckons I still could. Lovely of him to have such confidence. Alas, it is VERY MUCH misplaced!!!! It's a great take on the challenge. VERY impressive!!!

Yep, it's important that the children know and see that their olds cheeses were also young and gorgeous a few Summer's ago! I used to wear a bikini too, for a few years before pregnancies. You rocked the sketch and the colours Mary and thanks for joining us at Kraft+

Whoops, I was so blown away by the bikini photos that I forgot to comment on your cards. One so pretty and one just perfect for a bloke. Those masculine ones, I really struggle with, but you nailed it. x
