The ScrapRoom September 2015: BasicGrey B-Side

The last few weeks have been such a blur!  We had a vacation, needed to get ready for school and school began.  Tonight is Back To School Night for my Freshman son, Jason.

The picture above was taken in my very first bedroom.  My grandmother made my curtains and I was able to pick out the fabric. The print is so 70's, is it not? :)

This photograph is the only picture that I have from that time, in my room.  It is highly valued for it's nostalgia.  With me are my beloved dog, Apache, and my brother.

I loved using the BasicGrey B-Side from The ScrapRoom September 2015 Cafe Club "Flavors of the Month" Kit because of some of its' iconic images and pink paper for this picture.  I love the bright mix of colors!  The brads that I found in my stash were not quite the right shade of pink so I used a bright pink Sharpee to darken them.  Then, I decided to use a black Sharpee to color a Tim Holtz bookplate piece.  That's when it occurred to me that I love how my dear scrappy friend, Deanna, pretties up some of her pages with black accents.  I quickly added the black, punched strip and matted the clockface.

Hope you're have a magnificent day!!
