Kraft it up and About a girl May challenges

A marvelous Monday morning to you all! The weekends go so fast! I hope you all got a bit of time for scrapping and doing what you love the most!

I have created a layout for the Kraft it up May challenge which is to create a VINTAGE layout..(on kraft cardstock.)  I was given some photos from a cousin of mine and the photos are so precious.. They are of my ancestors and my dad's farm years and years ago.. So I have chosen a photo of my Grandparents and family which was taken about 80 years ago.. My dad is the little boy sitting.. So what a special photo this is to me.. I hope I have created a layout worthy of this beautiful photo..

Evans Family.



and some closer views.


I have used an old doiley from a life line shop, old book pages, old lace bits, and various papers, kaiser chipboard pieces and  various flowers..


I have also come across a new challenge site Its all about the girls and as I have 3 gorgeous girls I thought I would have a go at the first challenge which is to scrap about the girls in your life and to introduce them.. I have their names on the side on the banners..
I also went crazy with the collectables from the kaiser range lulu and roy to use them up!! (make room for the new ones..hehe!!)

Family

So thanks once again for coming by and thank you for the wonderful comments you leave me too!
