Starting a Tradition | Traditional Scrapbook Page

this is a traditional page that i did this week of my dad and reagan at the County Fair. they are "starting a tradition" of riding the Merry-Go-Round each year, they have done it every year since 2009! 
i used the summertime collection from echo park for most of the layout, there is some creative memories and i think dcwv.

 i used the "life is good" & "life is celebration. life is right here and now." from two different Studio AE monthly stamp sets from technique tuesday. and the "snap shot" is from Heyday by Studio calico & hero arts. i LOVE all those stamps! i use them alot when scrapbooking!!

 i used "oh happy day" stamp set for the years and i stamped it in Eggplant elegance ink from Stampin' Up! and i used my big shot to cut out the tabs using this die from Paper Trey Ink. also use that alot when scrapbooking. 
 

 for all the die cuts i use country fair cricut cartridge to cut out different things that reagan loves to get at the fair. I love how overall bright and energetic the page is. it took several sketches to get it to look the way i wanted but patience won in the end because i LOVE this page!!!!
