I loved view masters when I was a kid, and so glad to find one for Evan & Erin! A cool toy from my childhood that my kids thought was just as cool. Evan always said he felt like he was in the actual scene.
I started out with this paper for my base...
and then built on it from there! I liked the watercolor flowers that reminded me of the flowers on Erin's shirt. I also added lots of layering with paper and paper strips, a wood veneer embellishment and card, word and phrase stickers matted with one on pop dots for a little more dimension, and some of my favorite Thickers!
I am a sucker for toys and other product from my youth. I even have a board on Pinterest dedicated
to items from my childhood.
You can see a link to the actual board *Here*!
Lots of good memories there thanks to Pinterest and now a new Facebook page called 80's Kids Rule!
Because I am definitely a child of the 80's.
I can't believe all of the things I have forgotten, but all I needed was a little push :)
This is one of the main reason why I love scrapbooking. To capture those fun memories for my kids!
I have a few design team assignments to work on in the next week or so.
But then after that, I am going to be doing a page for Evan using these Instagram Photos...
This is such a pretty, pretty page, Mary Jo! You really worked that background paper. My new favorite of yours. :)
