Way back when...on a Saturday morning...we slurped down cereal in our footie jammies and glued ourselves to the television for Saturday Morning Cartoons. They may have been in black and white...at my house anyway...but they live on in vibrant technicolor in my memories. I am so excited to have been a part of Tammy's cartoon tag swap. I wasn't going to post any of my tags yet, but it's been fun to get a hint of what the other crafters have made. So many different crafting styles will be represented and I can't wait to see them all! I have plans to string a garland in my office...on a yellow tape measure. (Tammy knows why...see her blog post Now I Know My ABCs. )
Just a Sneak Peek...
Quick Draw McGraw!
Remember the repeating background...the same cactus and mountains over and over...and over!
The Back of the Tag
I did a different cartoon on each tag.
Isn't my little sister a cutie?
When my sister Patti was very small, she had the squawkiest, raspiest voice. So for years we called her Yakky Doodle. His little ducky voice was so sweet...especially when he would ask "Are you my Mama?" I had totally forgotten this. I am so grateful for another childhood memory restored.
Top Cat!
Top Cat was a favorite of mine when I was about 6 or 7 years old. Back then we didn't have garbage pickup and all our trash was burned in a big barrel. But we stored the trash in those metal cans with lids. I remember dancing around the trash can banging the lids together like cymbals...just like Top Cat did to call his gang to a meeting. Just another memory fragment...another odd-shaped piece put in place in the 5000 piece puzzle that is my life.
What was your guilty pleasure?
And what kind of cereal did you slurp down in front of the TV?
