Grandparents

This is the 1st page I've done for my BOM. This is the only pic I have of my grandparents and it is in terrible shape with creases, tears & scratches all over it and a big brown stain in the middle. This was my 1st attempt at trying to fix a picture with this kind of damage. Hopefully I'll get better in time.

Sorry the pic is a little blurry, my scanner doesn't like anything lumpy. There are little red rhinestones at the top left pic and bottom right of the page, the scan sort of made it look like red blotches. LOL

I was wondering if I should outline the flowers or the journaling flip up? I figured I'd get some suggestions before doing it! :)


Journaling says:
This picture is of my maternal grandparents
taken in 1964. I've always loved this picture.
I snuck it from my mom when I was very little.
It's the only picture I can really remember of
my grandfather. He passed away when I was
about 4 years old. I was fortunate enough to
have been able to spend time with my grand-
mother untill I was 15 years old. She had
been blind since my mom was a teenager.
She had the best sense of humor about
everything. I remember the Cocaine Jar she
kept filled with flour. She would just smile
whenever she heard someone lift the lid just
to see what was in it. And the "I bet you can't"
beer stein that sat in the corner. She played
the piano beautifully and wanted to teach me.
I wish I had taken her up on that offer. I loved
it when she played Alley Cat. I miss spending
afternoons with her and I wish I could have
known grandpa. I believe they are still with me.
And when I think about grandma smiling and
laughing, it always fills my Heart Button.
