Arkansas

My cousin Terry sent this photo to my sister, Caroline earlier this year and I finally got around to printing it and scrapping it.  The two little boys are my Uncle Gene and my dad.  Like the caption says, it's probably around 1939 to 1940.  I followed the sketch below on Let's Scrap.  Click here to go to the website.  I find it easier to start a layout with a sketch and they have great ones on this website. 


Layout Sketch Challenge


The floral back ground circle is from the Tim Holtz paper pack I received for Christmas.  The birds and labels are from K&Company.  The knitted flowers are from a Whimsey Jar swap I was in a few months back.  I believe it was from Stampingooddeeds (Susan) from SplitCoastStampers.  And the birdcage was from my friend Ann Marie also from a swap.  I need to get more of these since I just love the bird cage and they are so popular right now.

I think I'm going to frame this one.  I just love the vintage feel and plus I miss my grandma so much!

Great news!  This layout was selected as IOTW (Inspiration Of The Week) at Let's Scrap.  It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who really liked this layout!  THANKS!
