Hello again.  I did this scrapbooking page for a dear friend of mine, it is a picture of her mother’s wedding (she was a wonderful lady who I loved dearly).  I wanted to keep the page simple so as not to take away from the photo or the era but at the same time wanting to make it just perfect.  The most nerve racking part was cutting the photo down to remove all the old sticky tape the photographer used to put the photo in a cardboard frame, my hands were shaking that much I thought I was going to ruin the photo for sure.  But then I wasn’t alone on not wanting to cut it………….hey Bev.

I used the large Baroque Motifs stamp in versamark to stamp the background onto Blush Blossom Cardstock and then mounted the photo first onto Mellow Moss Cardstock before sticking it down.  The colours go very nicely with the colours in the photo. I was going to use Blush Blossom Ink but tried it first on a scrap bit of Blush Blossom CS and it just didn’t have the effect I was looking for.

The journalling was done using a font from Microsoft Word (I think it was Edwardian Script) that was very curly whirly like the stamp I used.  I printed it onto Very Vanilla Cardstock and again mounted it onto Mellow Moss Cardstock before sticking it down.

Beverley was very pleased with how the page turned out and has many more (old) photos, mostly weddings of Aunts and Uncles that she would like me to scrap.  If I am still sane by the end of doing these I will post some for you to see.  A big Thank you to my Grandmother, Madonna for uploading my picture that I couldn’t get on the site.  Thank you for looking.
