The title caught my attention and what a treasure this photo and lo are! I too have issues with journaling and know I should work on it! You could do it monochrome, dark colors or bright and you would get something different every time!
For being out of your comfort zone you did a fantastic job. I like how you layered the photos and the distressing and tearing. Only one suggestion - do a little journaling, Date, who is in the photos, your memories of the day or what you have been told about it. You know it is you and your day but future gens may not.
I think you did a great job. Love the banner at the top, the distressed paper with rolled edges & newsprint behind... gives the feel of an old page to go with the photo.
Not much advice needed, just do more like this! You'll get comfortable as you go along. I do agree with Elizabeth, though, the center strip could be narrower and the distressing a bit more delicate. I love the double framing and layered pennants. This is a style I really admire, too bad I'm surrounded by boys (of all sizes, lol).
you did an amazing job! I have always loved this style too but been too afraid to give it a go. I love how you highlighted the area of the photo with the little oval frame.
What fun to find such hidden treasure. Maybe I'll have the same fortune, since I'm also looking for an old photo I know I have.
Lyn, this is lovely! The colors are fantastic and compliment your photos and the vintage style very well. I agree with Marci, but I would also add this idea. I would make the strip behind the photos a little narrower. I think it overpowers the pictures just little because it caught my attention before the pictures did.
Lynn, this is lovely! The sweet colors and all of the feminine touches add to the love portrayed in the photo. My only suggestion would be to turn the title around so the words are facing into the page instead of away from it. I have found that it's easier to read that way.
I was looking for a certain photo yesterday( 10th feb) and came across others i forgot i got , this was about 1962 , This layout is a bit out of my comfort zone but i always wanted to have a go after geting alot of inspiration from others who do layouts like this, So I would appricate anyone can can give me advice,
