Here's my take on the photos of our day trip. I think our cousin Lesley-Ann was visiting from Grenada, part of the motivation to tour the island. Maybe she was the one taking the photos?
To create the background I sprayed the cardstock with Glimmer Mist, then used a piece of bubble wrap as a stamp with yellow paint.
These photos are from around 1981 or 1982 I think and the journal gives you an idea of the story behind them.
Journaling reads:
When we first moved to Barbados to live we would go on these impromptu trips to explore the island. On this particular day we headed up Sam Lord's Castle. The legend of Sam Lord's Castle is that the pirate Sam Lord would hang lanterns in the coconut trees on the beach near his castle to attract ships. Captains would mistake the lanterns for the lights of the capital city Bridgetown and wreck their ships on the reefs. Sam Lord would then plunder the ships taking the treasures.
Francine will be posting her version of these later this week.
I finally got around to doing my version with this photo (see Francine's in this post). I absolutely love this photo of the two of us and who can resist that cute kitty in Francine’s arms. Of course I can’t remember the kitties name seeing that I was probably around three in that photo I think.
We had this idea. We're sisters. We are both scrapbookers, but we live in different countries. However we have a lot of the same photos from our childhood growing up in Barbados and Grenada. Why not scrap them "together" online? And so Sister Scrap was born. We hope you'll enjoy taking a look as we document our family history, each in our unique style.
To get started, enjoy this layout I did using the photo on the left of the banner. This is one of my favourite photos of us wearing matching outfits that our Aunt sent us from Canada. This was around 1976. If I remember correctly the outfits were green. Maybe Vernell can confirm or deny!
Edited by Vernell to add: The skirts were green and the tops (bodysuits) were red and white.
