I knew exactly what background paper I wanted to use when I read that
Shimelle's Tenth Challenge was to scrapbook two photos on a bold background. What could be bolder than a foam glitter sheet? However, as I worked with the layout, I ended up with only one photo. In place of the second photo, I added four trading cards that went along with the theme of my layout.
Journaling reads:
Watching the popular DALLAS TV series in the 1980s, Robbie never imagined that he'd one day move from Ohio to Texas. When he started his new job in 2011, I asked him on his first day how he liked his new office. His reply, "It has an excellent view of the Cliff Barnes Building!"
I was disappointed that I didn't have a trading card with Cliff's photo, but I absolutely love having these vintage items on my layout. We're looking forward to seeing if the new Dallas TV series (premiering in June) will become as iconic as the original.
Anyone else have memories of watching the Ewings and the Barnes scheme to outdo each other? Do you know who shot JR?
Great LO very bright and sparkley. Was it Kristen who shot JR? If I remember didn't they film every single charcter shooting him so the press would be confused? Happy days. Remember the 'Who shot JR?' t-shirts. I live in the UK and it was HUGE on TV here. Well done this weekend, you've made loads of fab LOs.

Second try to comment. If this one doesn't go, I give up - stupid word verification!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, just wanted to say kudos for playing along with all of the challenges! you did a great job.
Oh, yes! It used to be the highlight of our Wednesday evenings. This fabulously glittery page brought it all back.
ReplyDeleteFabulous layout! I did watch Dallas when I was a kid, every Friday night! I do know who shot JR, his sister-in-law...trying to remember her name. Krystal or Kristen or something. Love the glittery background and the fun trading cards you used. Very cool for Robbie to have a view of such an iconic place. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat page..inspirational to use the gold glitter paper...and yes, I was a 'Dallas' fan too!

I loved Dallas and have recently watched it again, although gave up after J.R. got shot!
ReplyDeleteI did watch dallas but was a much bigger fan of Dynasty. The gold glitter is highly appropraite :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Beverly up there...that gold glitter is so appropriate! Great layout too!
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent layout! No, I didn't watch Dallas or Dynasty - I was a little bit young for 'those' shows!
ReplyDeleteOh my! What a blast from the past! I loved watching Dallas - back with a group of girlfriends on Friday night.

I used to watch Dallas back in the day. And this sketch looks suspiciously like Lisa Day's #20 which came out today. Do you have inside info, or what?
