This LO is amazing, it really gives the feel of a man having dirty hands and he's been all over the paper! Awesome job with the photos they look great!
LOVE LOVE LOVE what you did to the photos to make them vintage looking! Took me a second to realize those were modern day photos! LOL Mission accomplished, I guess! Love the clothespins holding the topp photos and your grungy bg!
I love this...I love what you did to the photos.I ink the edges of my photos a lot but never thought to ink the whole thing. ANother thing I like is that grunge feel...kind of like this was made in a mine and then left on the miners "desk"...or something. lol. I love it and it is beautiful.
What a clever way to "age" your photos to match your papers perfectly. I love the layout. It reminds me of going to visit the mine my dad worked during WWII in Nevada. You really get the feeling of the mine in this layout.
On a trip to Colorado we took a small day trip to a old mining camp. We got to pan for gold and copper, and actually go in the mine to see how it worked from 150 years ago until the mine closed 50 years ago. My kids had a blast seeing how everything work, especially panning for "gold", The American Vintage Collection was perfect for this layout as our tour and experience was all about Vintage America!! My picture we nothing like what you see, the kids were all wearing all bright colors, and the mining hats and clothes were all bright yellow, they did not go at all with the colors of the papers. So I printed all the pictures in black and white (but this did not look good either) and instead of wasting more ink or money printing I used my chalk ink in a light brown and turned each photo in a vintage look by inking over the entire front of the picture, note to self to print in sepia next time!!
