This week in our Generation Gap series we’re tackling food and meals. What sort of differences would you notice when comparing todays foodstuffs to those of your childhood. This is a huge topic that could encompass family meals, celebration meals as well as types of snacks and the controversial children’s lunchboxes!
We’d love to have you join in our challenge – it’s not too late to start playing along. Send your layouts to [email protected] by next Wednesday 14th September for a chance to win prizes and have your layouts shown on our blog.
Suz wasn’t sure where to start with this topic. She settled on the differences in family meals and journals in a collage-y kind of way on stickers and journalling spots throughout her layout about the changes in meals. She takes a wander down memory lane recalling some of her favourite meals as a child as well as explaining about their current new tradition called ‘make it yourself monday’ when her kids get to plan and cook their own choice of meals (with supervision!) each monday night.
Suz has combined her favourite papers for this series – BasicGrey’s Green at Heart which provides some fabulous tones reflecting the 70’s along with SEI and cute Crate Paper Restoration stickers.
The color palette of Basic Grey's Indie Bloom line went so well with this photo of Iris' daughter having some of her favorite "Fruity Froyo". Translation - fancy ice cream. One of Iris' favorite snacks when she was younger was also ice cream, but Iris says it was never this fancy nor this pricey! Nicole's frozen treats are served in fancy ice cream boutique stores where she has the luxury of dressing up her very own frozen treats with mallows, chocolote chips, sprinkles, and other small candies.
Iris would sneak a few fruit pieces once in a while to make it a healthier treat. Some times her little girl would not notice, but most of the time she does!
