I really like the 'old' photo and your marvelous journaling giving insight into the scene. It is truly a moment captured! Great flowers, nice fussy cutting~
WOW Marianne!!! What a great old photo & I so enjoyed reading the description! The radio hidden in the floor!!!!!!!!!! History here that I wish the young ones would pay attention to!! Scrapbooking can't get any better then this!
Oh my goodness!! your blooms came out beautiful!!! and what a beautiful page design too! How wonderful to have these pic's of some peaceful 'family time' Awesome page!
What a wonderful layout! You know vintage is my very favorite, and you have done this wonderful picture beautiful justice. This picture truly is worth a 1000 words in depicting what life was life 60 years ago. How treasured this will be! Your journaling is so important, and I'm really going to remember how you used the Nesties to showcase it. That fits into the layout so well! I do love your little flowers, too. I'm going to have to try some of those, even tho' I have a million store bought ones. : )
Oh, Marianne, this is a lovely page... such memories.... and what a story about the 'secret' radio! Flowers are super cute - I'm off to peruse Gabrielle's blog. Although I really should be doing school stuff instead! Glad you enjoyed your break. We've been having fabulous weather lately. Take care. Marie x
The journaling reads: "Taken in 1954 this photo is of Jan's parents, Albertus and Maria and his sister, Rie, in their home - Pa doing a crossword, Rie sticking photos in an album while Moe is knitting. Behind Rie is the radio (they had no T.V. then) to which 10 years before they had all secretly listened to Radio Holland, broadcast from London, in World War II, and which they had hidden between their floor boards." I enjoyed making the flowers found in a tutorial in Gabrielle's lovely blog, though have to confess that I cheated as I drew in the stamens instead of using the cord that Gabrielle recommended. TFL.
