My First ScrapFIT Reveal

I am so excited to share my first layout as one of the newest FITGirls at ScrapFIT.  Today, you will get to see the reveal for the new Team members and we have a great challenge for you!!

 #73 - "I Remember"  - This Workout is based on these two little words!  One of the reasons I scrapbook is so that I will always remember the little things, that over time, it's easy to forget about. We want to see you create a layout with a title ‘I Remember’.  We cant wait to see your story!

When I saw that this was our first assignment, I immediately knew I wanted to use some photos from when I was a little girl.  Most of my layouts are usually about our children, but sometimes, I like to sneak something different in there!!  :)  I wanted to create a fun, little vintage feel to this page and just do some free form journaling of things that I remembered from my childhood.




 
I used a lot of little odds and ends on this page.  The journaling tags, button centers on my flowers, dark brown heart, and twine, were all from a little prize package I received from Yvonne Yam.  I added a little bit of stitching and cut the scalloped border along the edge of the wood grain paper and then folded it over to reveal the backside and stitched it down.  

Make sure you come play along with Workout #73 and you will have the chance to be one of the first winners of our new FITKit, provided by Paper Issues!!  The prize for this workout is:

 

Products Used:
Patterned Paper:  Crate Paper & Echo Park
Wood Veneers:  Studio Calico
Letter Stickers & Border Sticker:  Crate Paper
Smooch Spritz:  Clear Snap
Other:  Buttons; Washi Tape, Tags, Twine, Staples

Ashley this is just adorable! I really see Reese in you, how cute! love all the little vintage touches, and the hand journaling on the tags. You are fortunate to have photos of your childhood, I don't have any really, THAT is the reason I do this, so my kids will know what their childhood was all about, and that's why I drive them nuts taking about 400 photos a month!! ha
