This is from today's LOAD prompt: Our Song: Our Song can be applied to so much more than our husbands and
boyfriends. We have songs associated with girlfriends, holidays, special
events and even last goodbyes. What memory does “Our Song” evoke?
Le
Freak was a popular song during 1978 that we just love to skate too.
Yep when I hear that song on the radio, I still want to get up and move!
but not on skates. My best bud and I went skatin every Friday if I
could gather up the money to go, Tim was always there :) Tim and I met
through friends, we became the best of friends always hangin out
together. We'll back the the rink, they would have overnight skates and usually
around 2 AM most of us would start gettin tired and when they put this
song on, Le Freak, we were up and movin again.
I used the May 1 sketch over at Sketch N Scrap. I rotated the sketch 1/2 turn counterclockwise for my photo placement. I used Sketch #80
I used all Close to my Heart products too including ink :)
Thanks for stopping by and seeing the view from my corner of the world.
A fantastic take on this sketch!
ReplyDeleteA fantastic take on this sketch!
ReplyDeleteNicely done - I really like that you rotated it a quarter turn. It was a bit perplexing to me as sketched.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh, I so remember that song! lol It was a catching, get moving kind of song-one that made you want to get up and get going no matter how tired you felt. lol I love the layout Tina, and I love how you turned the sketch a quarter of a turn. Such fun memories you have too, and I love reading about them!! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteI remember those days!!! I doubt I can even stand up on skates now! lol! I love how you flipped the sketch and love the stamped title, so catchy! Thanks for joining us at Sketch N Scrap!
ReplyDeleteGreat take on the sketch. I don't remember that song though. ;) Love your LO.
ReplyDeleteTara, that was one of the best songs that came out of the Disco era :) When skating really got popular, Linda Rhonstadt's cover had her in skates. hmmmm you must not be my age :)
DeleteWhat a great layout! I was only 4 years old back in your skating days!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteBut I love your story and roller skating was huge for my family too. My mom worked at Capital Roller Rink which was directly next door to our house! I would be in my bedroom at night and hear the music booming through my window. There were times before the skating rink opened that my mom would bring me over there and her boss allowed me to skate while they set up the snack bar and stuff. I remember those days like it was yesterday and back then I was about 4 or 5 years old. Great memories! Your layout definitely brought me back to my youth! And then recently for my aunt's 60th birthday party, we all went to a skating rink in Staten Island called Roller Jam USA. We had a blast and it was the first time I was on skates in about 20 years!
Hugs,
Jo

Oh man, you sure hit a chord. Got into the city a few times to skate back in that era. Loved it. Roller skates...not so popular here, on the gravel roads in the country.
ReplyDeleteNeat to see one manufacturer on a lo, yet you still made it look personal.
Beautiful layout!
