Family Artifacts…

Aug 19, 2008

I was given a Mas­ters Chal­lenge and thought some­times it’s not about the peo­ple or the moment I like to scrap about but the item. So here is my chal­lenge.… “Get out your trim, but­tons, chip­board and pat­terned paper and cre­ate a lay­out about a child­hood toy or fam­ily arti­fact that still brings you joy. Post your responses to the cre­ativ­ity chal­lenge in the forum at memorymakersmagazine.com/masterschallenge.

The hobby horse shown in this lay­out was put through some very vig­or­ous rides. My brother Richard would rock back and forth as far as the springs would allow and go as fast as he could. Some­times this action would lift the metal frame off the floor which scared me. He rode this hobby horse like a true cow­boy on a mis­sion. I on the other hand had a fear of falling off and would gen­tly rock back and forth like a true lit­tle lady.

    How adorable. Too many years and too many moves, I don’t think I have a sin­gle photo of me with a toy. Wel­come back-we missed you!

    SOOOO lov­ing all of the orange! I am find­ing that this is the color I am want­ing to use more and more of. LOVE your focus on that adorable horse too.

    I had one of those, well my brother did, but me being a tomboy means I did too. Love the col­ors you used and that brown ball trim is too die for.
