Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.
I had a few birthday party photo's to choose from, but this early one from 1969 was one I do have fond memories of. We were new to the neighborhood and I got to invite 3 girls over. As you can see in the photos, the clothing, home decor, wall paper, etc. were very typical of the late 60's. We lived in this house for close to 10 years, longest in one place when I was young, so it is very memorable. Ironically, one of my friends bought her parents house that she grew up in and still lives in the neighborhood. Sadly, another friend died in her early 50's of breast cancer, the 1st of her 6 siblings. Their home was the hub of the neighborhood, a safe haven for me to hang out and be a child. It was a great neighborhood to grown up in!
Layout Details
Stamp Set:
- Happiest of Birthdays
Paper:
- Pattern Party - 12 x 12 background
- Sweet Talk 12 x 12- I cut the hearts to add to the center of the layout, applied with dimensionals
- Real Red layer
- Balmy Blue Layer
- What A Year Memories & More - used for journaling. I'm a 'crooked' writer, so I love having lines to stay lane while I'm writing. I also often choose to handwrite, I think it is another element of memories written in my own hand.
- Flirty Flamingo layer behind sentiment
- Basic White for sentiment
Ink:
- Baby wipe technique- Ink Refills
- Real Red
- Granny Apple Green
- Pumpkin Pie
- Night of Navy
- Flirty flamingo
Other:
- Baby wipe- 2 folded, drop ink of various colors until full, ink up stamp image and stamp onto white or whisper white.
- Stampin' Seal
- Stampin Dimendionsla- regular and mini
- Metallic pearls
This came together quick & easy, which is typically my style. Not every page needs to be elaborate and when you have a lot of a similar topic, like birthdays, it's nice to get them on the page and tell the story rather than sit in an album that no one knows what the story is behind them.
Now Let's dig into more collaborative fun, Grab a beverage, sit back, and enjoy the hop! I hope you find awesome ideas and inspiration for your projects.

Love how you've used your old photos to tell your story - just wonderful and this is totally what memory keeping is all about!! And what beautiful memories you have to share.
ReplyDeleteJill, such a very special photo of your 5th Birthday.
ReplyDeleteYou can see the joy that you had at your party.
Thank you for joining the blog hop and sharing this MEMORABLE layout <3
Cheers Shaz
What fun memories for you! I don't think anyone took many photos back then. I know I don't have many of my early years compared to the piles that I have of my kids. Or, I was just really into photography, lol.
ReplyDeleteSuch a memorable layout! I love how you incorporated so many pictures on a single page. Your color scheme is delightful!
ReplyDeleteIt is so fun to pull out old photos to scrapbook and reminisce. These are beautiful memories that you have shared and the layout is perfect to showcase each of them!
