This months challenge is up at Stampamemory and this month its to scrap a photo older than ten years.
I cringe at this photo everytime I look at it ..as yep thats me with my undies showing. Ive just shown my fourteen year old daughter the photo and she is shocked how short my dress was..she reckons it was ‘skanky’ lol!
That was the norm in those days though! You wouldnt ever see me in a dress let alone that short now!
This paper I didnt particularly like when I first saw it in the new Autumn/Winter (out now). but thought it was perfect for this photo and a few other projects I have planned. Once I opened the pack however I discovered how gorgeous it is.
So hope you come along and play with us at Stampamemory this month.
Delys I love this page.

Fantastic layout Delys, although it is dredging up memories of wearing itchy, ill-fitting, home made knickers! Thank heavens that phase of mum’s sewing didn’t last long!

OMG!! This brought back memories for me too!! My Mother sewed all my clothes, and yes, fashionably short for that period too! This layout rocks the time period Delys. Can I CASE this PLEASE!!!!!
