Brilliant! What a great memory to record - love your journaling! I too remember the days with no seat belt!

It is amazing any of us survived traveling in those days, at least according to today's standards! LOVE the LO! Everything about it is spot on!

This is fabulous! Love everything about it. The rainbow-ish half-circles are so cool!

Great pictures...miss those days! Love the washi tapes.

I totally giggled at your journaling there. Totally true, but what FUN days those were!!! LOVE that you scrapped this page, love the bits and pieces and all the stitching and strips! But the real winner here was the US map with your route pinned!!!! How cool!! What an awesome photo and page!

April 06, 2018

Love the story and photos-the page is so exceptionally scrapped-unique, eye catching just so darn great!!!

What a WONDERFUL story to document! I recall being in the back of a pick up truck with a BUNCH of kids going down a bumpy gravel road! I very much love all the stitching and strips of pp (or maybe washi tape). The different shapes really tie this LO together!

I miss the way. We. Rode in the back of. Dads truck as kids... awesome page

March 29, 2018

Absolutely love your layout. So true about how things were back then, and how most of us survived, LOL. I really love your half circle, cute pics, the filmstrip and your journaling. Fabulous page.

Oh my goodness! Some of my favorite memories as a child were riding in the covered bed of my grandpa's truck with my cousins up to the cabin. I know how very dangerous that is but it makes me sad at the same time that my kids didn't get to do fun things like that. I love the mini US diecut. I may have to make one with my cricut to use on paged for the many road trips my kids and I have taken.

March 28, 2018

Love the stitching.

March 28, 2018

Love the vintage colors & the stitching! The use of the washi tape is very clever!

March 28, 2018

How wonderful that you had these photos!! Super cute and creative!!

March 28, 2018

Such special memories - fun and exciting things that we did as children that our kids (and theirs) will never get to experience. Not that all the safety devices and laws are a bad thing, but they do take some of the adventure out of life... I love the design you used and all the neat embellies and elements - such a great page :)

March 28, 2018

Things were different, when we grew up. And I love these memories our kids will never have. Beautiful layout!

March 28, 2018

Absolutely beautiful page! I love the Kraft background! I especially like your childhood memory and your wonderful journaling!!!

March 28, 2018

It is amazing how we survived, back then we would roll around in the back of the station wagon, hoping dad would make a sharp turn. I love the design with the circle photo highlighted in front, and your stitching is amazing.

March 27, 2018

You are right that is an unusual way to travel. cute layout design.

March 27, 2018

I smiled remembering the time we went to DisneyWorld in 1975 in an RV with the kids moving all over and, of course, all the times before that when I was small. How did we all survive? Darling photo of you!

March 27, 2018

Oh, I so understand. We always traveled with the littlest in the back window of the car and 2 in each foot-well of the back seat and one or 2 on the seat and one in front between mom and dad. How did we ever survive. I had never had or used a seat belt until I was pregnant with my first (1969). Prior to that there weren't seat belts in the cars at all....and no such thing as carseats and boosters. Love that you documented this so well. I love the arch and the ric rack. Great job.

March 27, 2018

Thank God they made everything "safer" now - lol! I can't believe we all survived. Anyway, sarcasm aside, I LOVE your journaling and you know I love stitching. The colors on this are fabulous as well. I also really like the washi tape/paper strips. Such a cute picture as well. I guess I should've said I love the whole thing!

March 27, 2018

And yet we were probably safer than most children today. Not many of us actually got hurt!! And love your design, colors, and stitching.

March 27, 2018

Love all your stitching! Love the misting and the America die-cut ! I remember my sister's kids riding in the back of her station wagon - it was the only way she could fit all 6 of them in one vehicle!

March 27, 2018

Yes, those were the days! We used to love to sleep outside under the willow tree on the rollaway bed. Wouldn't be able to do that anymore. I love the design of this and especially the U.S. cutout. Nice work, Denise!

March 27, 2018

Times sure have changed! Love that photo of you and the way you cropped it so that you could place just "you" in the circle alongside the original un-cropped photo! Also loving the red and kraft combo!

March 27, 2018

Very cool layout!! I remember my friend and I would hang out in the very back of our Rambler station wagon, no seat belts, playing Slug Bug and making funny faces at passerbys.

March 27, 2018

Your color scheme, stitching, and design...wonderful! Love your work!

March 27, 2018

OMG Denise! I remember those days when we didn't have to wear seatbelts and could sit in the back of a truck bed or in the station wagon's trunk...good times! I love those very cool half circles and bits of dripping/splattering paint. So artsy and fun. And those pics of you are super adorable. I love the torn paper you used to journal on. Fun and fabulous page girl! Perfect for the Childhood Challenge. I loved learning a little something about you back in the day. fave

March 27, 2018

I love the color scheme you chose for this!!

March 26, 2018

I've always admired your work, and this LO is no different... right down to every single little details.. just fabulous!

March 26, 2018

Love all the stitching. What a great lo and a creative way to stack all those challenges.

March 26, 2018

What a cool layout. You are so creative with stitching on layouts - I love your work! This is such a cool layout! So many things we did as kids would get the parents hauled in today. When we were kids, all car had a place up and behind the back seat in the window. We loved to lay in the window when we travelled. Of course, if the brakes had been slammed in, we would have been thrown across the inside of the car, but we didn't think about that. And forget about seatbelts and air bags. Like most kids, we even rode in the bed of pickup trucks . I used to like to stand up and hold on to the roll bar when my dad was driving.
