Beautiful page. Isnt it sad that so many old photos are unkowns? Ive always written info on our photos and if I acquire older photos, I try to have my elders identify them so I can document it before they pass. Ive been the photo keeper for many years, no one else seems to care about them :o( Ro
Oh I love a mystery and you scraped the it perfectly. The photos are amazing. I love you saved them even if you didn't know who they were. It is always so sad when I go to an antique store and go through vintage photos. I always wonder who they were and didn't a family want the photos?
You are right, these are too perfect not to scrap.
I too inherited a lot of postcard type photos from years past.
Great combination of papers and colors to go with the heritage style.
These photos have been passed down from my great-grandmother, but we have no idea who they were.
This was done for AGC weekly in November, but I missed one of the requirements and didn't get it fixed or finished in time. It was also for November monthly sketch challenge.
For hoarders, everything here has been lurking in my stash for 2 to 10 years. For scraps, the leaf and title were cut from scraps, the striped and green pieces behind the photo were scraps. The doily pieces and ribbon were leftover from previous projects. Also for the heritage challenge if there is one from December.
Hidden journaling behind the right photo reads: As the title suggests, I don't know who these boys were. These photos, printed on postcards as was the custom of the day, were sent to my great grandmother Louisa, passed down to my grandmother and to my mom. The original of the one on the left has written on the back in a child's writing (in Italian) “Franco to Aunt Louisa, sending this photo with lots of loving kisses. Come soon and visit us.” On the back of the original of the one on the right is simply written (in Italian) “with great affection to Louisa” and dated May 15, (19)49. While I don't know who they were, these pictures were just too perfect not to be scrapped.
