Back in the Day!

Hello Scrappy Friends - this is my Design Team Layout for the My Little Scrapbook Stores "Camp Scrap-a-lot" Online Crop - Challenge #17 - "Off Roading" - You have to use BROWN for your layout - Kraft or Brown Papers, Embellishments, anything brown on your project!

I couldn't wait to use the AWESOME Ciao Bella "The Seventies" Collection from My Little Scrapbook Store - and I thought it went perfectly for this BROWN Challenge and with these photos of my Mom, Brother and I from 1971! My Dad and his friends purchased this BROWN very "vintage" trailer in New York State, that we all used as a vacation get-a-way, and the Dads used it as a hunting "cabin." It was one of those metal trailers with the rounded ends. I'm not sure if it was an Airstream - but I do know it was really small! We made lots of fun memories there - that's for sure!

I started with a piece of Kraft paper for my base, and used 2 Vicki Boutin stencils and some Ranger Distress Vintage Photo Ink, and Ranger Distress Oxide Inks in Mustard Seed and Wild Honey.

I am also entering this into the Dotty About Flair Facebook Page Challenge #20 - Collaboration with the Scrap Squad Facebook Page,

and their DAF Scraplift Collaboration Challenge using this layout as inspiration - 

I used an awesome Dotty About Flair on my layout too!

Here are a few close ups for you:

Here is the base page after I finished stenciling, and where I started to add layers and build my layout.

Here is a close up of all the "FUN" stuff - can you spot the avocados? And how cute is that camera charm - and don't forget about that COOL orange DAF Flair with the hearts!

I loved the little Avocados in the Picket Fence Sequin Mix, and I fussy cut that Retro Toaster and popped it on the page!

No "70's" Layout would be complete without a PEACE sign -Right!?!
And can I just say - How COOL was I with that animal print coat, with the big buckle and those ponytails!! - I was 10 yrs old in this photo, and my little brother was 8.  My Beautiful Mom was just 28, with that cool wig and those big sunglasses!!

Thanks so much for stopping by - I hope I've encouraged you to play along with any of these challenges!
