LM - Time for a treasure hunt!

Good morning everyone... 

we have another great challenge going on at Lasting memories.  This one is all about a treasure hunt - scrap about something you treasure.  It could be family, a vacation spot, your home, a piece of jewelry... anything.  

When the challenge was first presented my instant thought was my family but I am always doing layouts on my daughter and immediate family members.  I pushed it to the back of my mind... the one story that continued to push forward was a game that my brother and I would play when I was younger.  Treasure hunt.... I am four years older and when he was between four and ten he would love it when I would set up a hunt for him.    I would start with a small prize (It never mattered to him what it was, sometimes it was even a forgot toy he had in his room) and then I would hide it make a clue to that spot, hide that clue, make a clue to that hiding spot and so on until I ran out of little papers... he would sit patiently in his room until the hunt was ready and then BAM... off he would go on his hunt.  Sometimes returning to check his reading but I would have to say that I will always remember the excitement on his face during those hunts.  

now I didn't have any pictures to go with the LO but I didn't want it to stop me from telling our story so... my LO has no pics... maybe someone in the family has one and If I ever come across it then I will make sure to add it.  

Of course I used my trusty Cricut for the cuts... Seriously how did I ever scrap and make cards before I had my Cricut.... now I often wonder how did I use it before I had my Gypsy.  The only bad thing about the Gypsy is I forget what cart I used for the cuts :(   (edited... found them... yeah for mycutsearch.com)
