The theme over on the
Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge is "Mad Tea Party", which is to say "anything goes"! I'm embarrassed to say that the holiday craziness has meant that I had no time to make anything this time, but I thought I'd share a family heirloom with you. When I was up in the attic searching for the Christmas lights I came across this old family photo album. The text is a little small in these photos, but if you click on them you can see a better view.
I must take this over to my mother and see if she knows anything about who these people are or who compiled the album - I'll let you know if I find out anything interesting! :) Obviously this is a genuine family heirloom containing photos of my real ancestors, so you could never hope to copy it, but if you wanted to create something similar, I've drawn up a list of the type of things that you could, perhaps, use.
Supplies I used included:
Our ever-generous sponsor
Simon Says Stamp is offering a $50 gift voucher as the prize again this week, just make something for the challenge and you could the winner! 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! :)
Don't forget, Simon Says Stamp have a great Facebook page too! Check them out

Here you go again, Dan! I love your sense of humor! Your funky family photo album is so cute and so creative! Now I understand where your talent comes from....haha. Happy New Year, my friend. <3 Candy
Oh that more family albums were as honest as yours!! I think it would make for much funnier and insightful reading and help the family tree makers out no end!!
Love your sense of humor! There's nothing like adopting a family for your past.
You certainly have a fascinating "family" - heirlooms in the attic and skeletons in the closet, I'd say! Fabulous, and hilarious!
