I started flipping through the old photos and found that I had quite a few of my Gran when she was a girl...
An hour later I found myself with my box (OK, more like storage unit...no, seriously) full of paper scraps & scrapbook embellishments spread out all over the family room...and this...
With just some paper, ribbon, deco tape & a few embellies...OH! and this awesome 7Gypsies book cover...I have a darling little photo album...all about my Gran...
I didn't show you the whole album...in truth, I didn't want to bore you...I just wanted to share a few of my favorite pages. I adore that last photo of my Great Gran's friends coming for tea...I swear I have photos with my friends and me posing the exact same way...sassy girls...
Simple little project...but it has made me so happy...
Here's where I'm linking up this week...
I just love how that came out!!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful and holds such precious memories!
I LOVE this ♥ I too have quite a few old family pictures, waht a fun idea to make a pretty album.
ReplyDeleteHugs...
I really like your album!! I love how old and vintage it looks :)
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful! Instead of keeping the pics stored away what a beautiful way to display them! I LOVE old black & white photos!! What a lovely project!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome find! Seriously...the last picture is amazing!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's fantastic! I've tried scrapbooking before and I just have no talent for it (seriously. zero.), so I'm always impressed by other people's scrapbooking work. It looks beautiful, and such a fun way to remember her :-)
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute! Thanks for linking up with Lemon Tree Creations today!

ReplyDeleteso so beautiful! What a great way to treasure those photos! And it seems like a quick way instead of spending a year on one scrapbook this is a wonderful alternative! You rock!

ReplyDeleteMaggie - this is so gorgeous!! Sunday is the one year anniversary of my gram passing away, and this just struck a cord - I am sitting here crying. I would love to put something together like this!
