Last weeks prompt for the ukstampers weekly challenge was Sweets from your childhood.
I definitely had a very sweet tooth and loved sweets. Floral sweets or fruity sweets would have been my first choice. Here are a few of those I remember: Aromatics, floral gums(or was it gems?), cherry lips, refreshers, parma violets, Turkish delight, sherbet strawberries, sherbet straws – well anything with sherbet in them really, love hearts, tooty fruties, candy necklaces, Vienna fruit bon-bons, penny chews, Bazooka bubble gum (didn’t these used to have skin transfers like tattoos in them?), lucky bags, lollies, liquorice all sorts ………
I can’t remember individual prices but an old sixpence would get a lot of sweeties!
I used the back page of my first journal page for this and added a Prima notecard to the top. Some pink vellum for the central flower with the names of a few sweets printed on it. Prima flowers, button, sweet wrappers, a sixpence and a stamped Alice (I used to have long blonde hair when I was little).
beautiful page, yumm on the sweets love parma violets
Fab page… I’d forgotten cherry lips!
This is gorgeous !!
Love what you did with the vellum and the sixpence is a lovely touch – fab page!
I love your sweets page.
