Holden time
A layout for the "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" challenge at Paper Issues (Friends and Fans) facebook page:
The challenge was to create a paper project using 2 alpha fonts; chipboard - I used Kaszazz chipboard and coloured with Plum Archival Ink; Florals; Patterned paper only; black and white photo. Papers and stickers are from Kaisercraft Treasured Moments collection and flowers and wood veneer from my stash.
About the photo - in February US-owned General Motors announced it was pulling the plug on its Australian operations and this saw the end of on our most iconic brands. The 160 year old Holden name, as much a part of our cultural fabric as meat pies, football and kangaroos.
Our family car, at one stage, was the one in the photo - it had a pink strip along its side - sorry don't know the model number.
The photo shows from left - me (aged about 15); my sister (aged about 13) and our brother (aged about 10) in the drivers seat. It was taken in the backyard of our then family home in Asquith, NSW, Australia.
I think it was probably the last time I ever wore shorts!!
