Saturday Night
Hi you all :) This layout came about from LOAD prompt that happened on Mother's Day and so fitting for the layout I ended up doing about my Mom. Mom and I had a special friendship that I am very thankful for. She's been gone now almost 14 years and the past couple years I have finally been able to start scrapping about her. It's comforting to scrap about her too. So on with the project this is for Lasting Memories: Anything Goes challenge with Life Affirmations.
This layout came about from the LOAD prompt: Personal Favorite: What was your favorite album as a teen? Incorporate it into your layout with color and font inspired by the album.

So I had some fun creating the layout to try to have a similar look. Got out my square 1" punch and started punches lots of squares from scraps:
I found this cute sticker on one of my sticker sheets and thought is was perfect to go with the story behind the title and pictures of the layout.
So I went with Thickers for the title and I went with a grid style center to look like that large block they used for their photo on the album. Lots of 1" squares all around the layout :) I also fussy cut some stars and scattered them about the layout too. Guess it's been a good month for stars I had alot of variety of them in my stash.
Mom and I went out dancing often on Saturday Nights.
The journaling as I found out with posting the layout that I misspelled a word and also missed a word , now corrected on my layout. I used a PL card to put the journaling on. I used my current counterfeit kit for my layout plus lots of scraps in my stash.
Thanks Mom for being there for me for everything I needed in life. You were the one person that never left me down. I know it's not Mother's Day, but when I did the layout is was. Happy Mother's day Mom

ReplyDeleteOh I remember the BCR's Saturday Night all too well (playing in my head now). Great way to use the album as inspiration for the page. Nicely scrapped Tina!
ReplyDeleteGreat journaling about the special times you shared with your mom! And when I saw your page title, I immediately heard "S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night!". I wasn't a big Bay City Rollers fan but I definitely remember that song.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to scrapbook your fun pictures with your mom. I need to do this too. Thanks for sharing your pictures and layout with Lasting Memories.
