The Beary Scrap

The Beary Scrap is a small, family owned, independent scrapbook store located in Shavertown, Pennsylvania and originated as on online business. They have lots of hard to find scrapbook goodies to feed your paper crafting desires and continue to add our products to the website weekly, so there is lots more to come. Best of all, because they are such a small business... when the "big guy" or "gal" sells out, chances are they still have it in stock. You have to go take a look at their site, because they have such cute stuff!!

MMSC66 ENTRY DEADLINE Monday Aug 16th at 5pm PST

This week my card took on a nostalgic theme. When I was little, my Mom and Dad, Grandma Elma and I took the train from Buffalo, NY to Atlantic City, NJ. Just to give you an idea of how long ago this was, there was a lady with caged chickens traveling with us. One of the best things I remember was the Boardwalk! All the sites, smells, the ocean and the Amusement Park! I still can remember the rides and attractions. And yes, there was a "Fortune Teller" arcade game that you put in coins and a fortune came out! Grandma Elma passed away last week at the great age of 100. She was blind but managed to live unassisted in her childhood home till last year.  This card is a tribute to all the good times we shared.

And here is my DT card for this week:
Double click on pic for a more detailed, larger view

The image I foundp on the web. I changed the hue to sepia in PSE and added some stardust stickles for hilights. The DP is Grapfic 45 "On the Boardwalk" The ticket die is a Tim Holtz and the admission stamp is Tim Holtz as well. The flowers ( Wild Orchid Crafts) were airbrushed and given the stickles treatment too. The saltwater taffies were fashioned out of layers of Fimo clay, rolled into shape and baked in the oven. I wrapped each one in waxed paper and twisted the ends. No trip to Atlantic City is complete without salt water taffy! I hope you enjoyed my tribute card to Grandma Elma and hope to see you again next week!
