TV Challenges: Week 2
It's Week Two of the "TV Theme" for scrapbooking inspiration at the Ella Daily Trumpet! (Check out last week's post to see what I'm up to.)
Remember the tv shows you watched as a kid? I bet you can remember certain episodes completely and clearly, and maybe even be able to quote a few lines. I loved Captain Kangaroo, Sesame Street, and later, The Flintstones and Bugs Bunny.
I tried really hard to get my kids to love Sesame Street like I did, but they opted for Barney, Dora, and Thomas the Tank Engine. Different times, different shows. (Speaking of different, my kids have probably never heard that old familiar line "What you talkin' bout Willis!" from Different Strokes!) So, this picture of my son reading the Pebbles Flintstones cereal box at breakfast struck me, because he has probably never watched an episode of the The Flintstones. I even showed him the picture and asked him what The Flintstones were about and he said "I think there is a kid named Bam Bam," but he confirmed that he'd never seen the show. This was my inspiration for today's layout:
supplies: cardstock & patterned paper (K&Company, Die Cuts With A View, KI Memories); letters (QuicKutz Studio).
journaling: "I watched The Flintstones almost every day of my childhood. You just know them as yummy cereal."
Barb created a sketch based on the layout above for your use in this week's challenge.
Yabba-Dabba-Do, Your Challenge for Week 2: Create a page about a favorite TV show from your childhood or one of your children's favorites! Or compare the shows you watched when you were a kid to the ones your kids watch now. Or compare your childhood favorites to your partner's childhood favorites. Please share your layouts with us - we'd love to take a look!
(Post your finished layouts in this gallery at Scrapbook.com by next Thursday, and MAKE SURE you tag them "Ella TV challenge." We'll pick one random winner out of the gallery each week who will receive a free eBook. We'll also pick one random winner at the end of the 7 weeks who will receive a $50 gift certificate to Scrapbook.com! To view other layouts that have been submitted for this series, just click here and type "Ella TV" in the search box.)

OH, I LOVED Captain Kangaroo! I watched every single day at lunchtime. Rodney Roundhouse too. Captain taught me about "chipwiches."
I had found images online of him; I need to make a page about my memories of him. Thanks for reminding me!
I just scrapped a page based on this theme... and I used my sketch based on Katie's page. :-)

drats, I dropped the ball on week 1. Hope to pick it up (or find said ball) for week 2! Such a fun challenge, Katie!
If it's Barb's sketch, I HAVE to give it a try! ;)
Thx! I'll try to do this, too!

This is just a perfect challenge! I have a story that is just waiting to be scrapped for ages!!! Thanks (also for the sketch which goes well with my story)!
Hi! I posted my layout in the scrapbook gallery but cannot see it when I do the research for Ella TV. Maybe it will appear soon. Here's the link if it should not: http://www.scrapbook.com/myplace/index.php?mod=galleries&u=497367&m=view&id=2673523 I used Barb's great sketch! Thanks!
