The theme over on the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge blog this week is "A Childhood Memory". One of my earliest memories is attending the New York World's Fair in 1965, not long after my family had emigrated to the USA. I'm not sure now how my memories may have been coloured by movies I've seen since then that were made during that time. Looking back it seemed like all the people in the city were dressed like Cary Grant or Tippi Hedren (though I wouldn't have known that back then, lol) Anyway, that's the feel I was going for in this piece!Keep your eyes peeled for my animated alter-ego on the right edge of the screen - there's an embarrassing (but cute, lol) pic of me taken with my big brother on the day we went to the fair. Sharp duds, huh? LOL
Our ever-generous sponsor Simon Says Stamp is offering a $50 gift voucher as the prize again this week! The winner will be chosen at random from those who enter the challenge, so why not give it a try? At the very least why not head over to the Challenge Blog to see how the other members of the design team have interpreted this weeks theme! :)

Yeah, I can feel that american movie vibe. It's strange of the things we remember from our childhood. Loving the little suited dude photo.
Dontcha just LOVE childhood memories? That is such a cute photo of you Dan. Love the tag too...and your animated character is soo clever ...not only to have it come out at the side but to change his appearance! Very cool. *Ü* TFS. ~Glen~

Hi it's me again...thought you might like to know that I refurbished my Cricut's 'living quarters' as you suggested - pics on blog LOL

LOVE this retro feel, Dan, you captured it perfectly! Great piece!
Thanks for the memories Dan. I was a little girl in Brooklyn who begged my parents to take me to the Fair. I didn't get to go, but every time I went to Shea Stadium to see the Mets play in later years, we passed that large globe and I'd remember how much I wanted to go.

Great images and colors. Super piece of work, Dan. It really took me back to that time.
