Remember when - Scrap Africa Sketch 38

Hi there and welcome.
Today, I'm sharing a sketch challenge layout for Scrap Africa
I must confess to struggling to find the right papers
and discarded my first two attempts.
But when I worked with these Kaiser papers, it all came together quickly.
to go to the Scrap Africa site
The photo is of my husband's family in 1952
I followed the sketch almost exactly.
The flowers and metal clock are from Prima.
The chipboard title is by Scrapmatts.
I hope you will give it a try too and be eligible for some scrappy prizes.

    I love those papers. I have a pack that I am hoarding. :D not sure why but I figure if I use them then they will be gone.... How nice that you have photos from way back when and these papers and the sketch are perfect for a vintage layout. I love this layout Helen. I missed the story :D

    The kaiser papers that you eventually went with Helen are divine. They work perfectly with this photo. I'm a bit of a fan of Kaisercraft because they are so easy to. Is & match. The flowers are perfect & a gorgeous little clock. I love it! Xx
