THE PINK ELEPHANT SCRAPBOOK CHALLENGE

And I also have a layout for this weeks challenge over at The Pink Elephant!  This weeks Theme Challenge is: Memorabilia - Scrap those ticket stubs, brochures, you know all the stuff you pick up while on vacation..  And that's just what I did...  This is a family vacation we took to Universal Studios back in 1999...  We had the best time...  I didn't add too much embellies, just used the brochures and stubs we picked up...  That's my son and daughter in the Jurassic Park Photo.  This was taken after they had already went down it once.. See how wet Amanda is..  We had to buy her a sweatshirt so she wouldn't freeze to death... lol..  See her in the family photo in front of the sign.. This was taken right before we left... 
Here is the list of scrappy things I used:
SU Night of Navy CS
SU More Mustard CS
MS Deco Fan Border and Corner Punch
MS Garden Trellis Punch
The Paper Studio Chipboard Travel
Not for sure if this one will qualify for any challenges..  But will check later..
Be sure and check out the other fabulous layouts from the other TPE DT members, and then why not play along with us...  Remember to upload your layout so we all can see!!!
