SS#3 Challenge-Checkers

<FONT face=arial><P><FONT face=arial>I have a fun time doing this layout with the bottle caps. I took (Stewart's diet orange and cream) soda caps and rubbed them in red and black stazon permanant ink pad to give them the look of checkers. The yellow sticker says: Grandparents are God's gift to children.<BR><BR>I had a hard time on the journaling so I just wrote a poem for the hidden journaling:</FONT></P><P><FONT face=arial><BR><BR>The Love of a Grandpa is like no other, Can't get it from Sister, Mom, Dad, or Brother.<BR><BR>Grandpas will laugh at your jokes &amp; stories, Enjoying the day as if there are no worries.<BR><BR>Playing checkers if fun 'cause Grandpas let you win, He's such a good sport, as he looks on with a grin.<BR><BR>The Love of a Grandpa is special and true, When he plays games and spends special time with you.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Bazzill<BR><BR>Red Cardstock<BR><BR>Black Cardstock<BR><BR>Lil Davis mini bottlecaps (date)<BR><BR>Making Memories black letters<BR><BR>Black felt<BR><BR>Glitter (the glitter is the trim on the black felt behind the &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; photos:) It looks white on here but it's glitter:)<BR><BR>Two Busy Moms (checker paper)<BR><BR>Melissa Frames (Vintage reversable tabs)<BR><BR>Pop Dots <BR><BR><BR><BR></P></FONT></FONT>

My grandpa used to play games with my brother when we were little. I think that may be why he likes checkers so much. Thanks for the memory!

Very cool LO!
