Grandparents


Scrapbook layouts look so much better in real life as they are not easy to photograph.  This picture was taken at our Wedding.  I don't think anyone would wear a cap to a Wedding now.  I don't know why they are dressed so warmly as we got married in June but no doubt this was my Grandma's smart coat.

I found some embossed Core'dinations in my stash and sanded some of it.  The papers are Tim Holtz.  The embellishments represent some of my early memories of my grandparents as it says on the tag.

What a lovely memory page, so nice to have these photos and memories to look back on. The playing cards bring back memories for me too from Christmas and family gatherings when I was young.

Such a lovely way to document your memories Marianne, and it's a fabulously designed page, a lovely photo of your Grandparents. I doubt many men would wear a cap nowadays let alone to a wedding, but that was the times and they look happy to be at your wedding, Kate x
