Today I'm here with the Stamp A Memory challenge for April. The challenge this month is to scrap a photo that is more than 10 years old. Given that for most of us, more than 10 years ago was pre-digital photos, this certainly was a challenge! It was a lovely trip down nostalgia lane looking through my older photos, but in the back of my head I had a little voice saying: "your photos should be more organised" and "you should get your negatives scanned to CD". I must admit that I am very glad to be a scrapper in the digital photography age!
Anyway, on to the layout. I chose a photo from 1999 that was taken when my husband Rob (then boyfriend!), sister Amanda and I went to see the Madame Tussaud's Wax Works Exhibition in Sydney.
I used the title 'is it really?' because the wax figures were so life-like that it was spooky. They even had a wax figure of a room attendant, just to trick the unsuspecting!
I decided to chop up the cardboard folder the photo has been stored in and use the Madame Tussaud's logo on the layout. It completes the visual triangle of embellishments: the buttons, the logo and the flower brad on the journalling box.
I also completed a second page to this layout because we took a heap of photos. You'll have to come back another day to see that because for now it's "Hasta la Vista, Baby". Yes, I know - very lame!
