Altered Book Lover: Childhood Memories and a few Friday Smiles

Childhood Memories and a few Friday Smiles

I'm joining Matilde from Craftowanie once again. She is our host this month at Art Journal Journey. Her theme, in case you didn't know, is People.

I created this using some black and white scrapbook paper I found in my stash. I then overlaid it with a black frame, also found in my stash. Behind the frame, I placed a TH Found Relative from a package I purchased on clearance a few years ago. I call it Childhood Memories. There are no detail shots today because it is self evident how I created this.

It's been a long time since I joined Friday Smiles, hosted by Annie (at A Stitch in Time). Let's visit Annie and the other wonderful ladies who also share their smiles each Friday. I have a few funnies for you today and they relate to childhood memories.

I never thought I'd be the one saying this but kids these days really are missing out on lots of the fun we had. Mobile phones have a lot to answer for. Take care and have a good weekend.
