Wow, I love the vintage feel to this page. What a great piece of family history! I like how you continued "Christmas" between both pages. It ties them together nicely. I like Cathy's suggestion of offsetting the page two pictures. I might consider moving the journaling box lower down on the page as well.
The only thing I thought might be a neat addition is to add in some photo corners like they did in old photo albums, to match the old fashioned feel.
This is a beautiful LO, nice work!
Great page!! Love the old photos, and how you really make them come alive with journaling! How about some gold fiber on the page somewhere (tied around a couple of the letters or numbers) to add some Christmas "tinsel". You really did a wonderful job!!
wonderful way to get those old pics on display.. I love the layout.. the colors are really pretty.. the title is nice.. but it can use more if you want to add more, how about a little slanting of the pics so they are not in a line on page 2. tip them..I also think a black mat would pop the black and white photos.. maybe under the green? Decorative rub ons .. ribbon or painted border would be cool in the open space, below the pics..another idea would be to keep pics the same but hang them from a ribbon bow.. so they look like they are on a wall.. just some ideas.. lovely journaling..
Wow- that is a GREAT picture! I love your journaling to describe it. I totally understand the focus of the page that way. Great background paper without too much going on! Great job!
Box reads: This is my favorite picture of my Grandmother and Mother. It looks as if it were a scene taken from a classic movie. My Grandmother is the young, dotting Mother. Not even a year old yet, my Mother is in awe of her first Christmas. I wonder what my Grandfather was thinking as he posed them to take this shot. I recognize some of the ornaments on that tree as some of the ones I grew up with. Could my Grandparents ever know that years later their granddaughter would see the magic of Christmas every time she looked at it?
