The challenge this week at Lasting Memories is to share a Childhood Memory. It can be of your own childhood, your children's childhood or even your college years!


Childhood Memories....hmmm isn't it fun when we can watch our children enjoying the same activities we enjoyed as children? Bumper Boats are loved by my kids as much as I loved them as a kid.  I did it once or twice because my parents couldn't afford to pay for three kids to ride them, but I loved them when I had the opportunity!


So I chose to do a layout of the boys playing bumper boats while also sharing my personal childhood memory!


Journal I loved bumper cars and boats as a kid. Watching the boys ride them is also fun!



I used scattered hexagons to continue the theme of bumper boats around the water.

Supplies:

Scrapbook Kit: Studio Calico Neverland March 2013
Teal Velvet Paper: Stash
Notebook paper: Stash
Die: Spellbinders Hexagons

Challenges:
Stuck On U Sketches; Diecut challenge Are you Seaworthy? I used hexagon dies to represent the bumper boats in the water

Don't forget to leave a comment to be in the drawing.

Looking forward to seeing your Childhood Memories:)

  2. Sounds like a fun challenge and I do have a lot of good memory of my childhood. Thanks for sharing your beautiful layout, I must admit I have never been in a bumper car but when the kids go they have a blast.

  8. Great layout Elizabeth. My family has been going to Lake Winnepesaukee in NH ever since I was little kid. Now we take my boys there and revisit all our old haunts. It's great getting to experience it through their eyes and creating a new generation of memories.
