1998 - 2013 Then & Now

Hello and happy Sunday to you!

I have for you today a layout I did for Scrap Our Stash challenge #9.   You are required to pull out those 6 x 6 pads you have been hoarding and create a layout using only paper from those pads and you must include (6) or more of one type of premade/packaged embellishment.

Here is my take


I just love this!  This is us - same place, same pose with the same smiles, 15 years later!!  It's such a great idea to do and it was so much fun doing it.  We all had a good time reenacting the original pose.  Unfortunately our cat, Giddy, passed away only one month before the re-take photo.  I sure miss that little guy!

For this challenge I used Snippets 6x6 paper pad by Studio Calico and my 6 embellishments are the wooden people, 2 parents & 4 kiddies.  It worked out perfect!  This is such a great challenge for me because I never think to use my pads.  I always forget about them.

Here are a few close ups for better detail








Thanks so much for stopping by!  Happy scrapping to you.

  4. I love doing then and now pages! Your layout is so colourful and the photo is awesome that it's exactly in the same place and using the same poses! I'm sure there were some lovely memories of your cat to remember as well whilst looking at the older photo. Thanks so much for playing along with the stash challenge at Scrap Our Stash. xx
