This is an old, old photo that I found in some of my mama's photos. I used Basic Grey Cappella papers. The key and dragonfly, and the word "family" are old embellies from my stash. I cut the clock face from some brown paper with a die. The "life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful" strips are from TH strips. The flowers circling the photo are a print and cut from the Silhouette store. The green border is a MS punch. I added faux stitching in white around the edges of the dark background. Some of the flowers are popped up. Journaling is tucked behind the striped paper and reads:

I found this old, old photo in some of my mama's things and scanned it into my computer. It was so dark and almost like a tintype photo. I worked on it for several hours trying to clean it up so that you could see a little about it. It appears to be a photo of my grandfather, grandmother, and some of my mama's older siblings. I believe that is my great grandfather, Doc Mitchell Pace in the foreground. I have no idea where this house was located, but I would guess somewhere in Georgia, since that is where my mama's family lived for a number of years. There appears to be a lady off to the left on the photo, but it could be just a shadow. Anyway, this photo is a perfect example of why we should scrapbook or at least document the who, what, when, and where a photo was taken.
(~Circa early 1900's)
Thanks so much for stopping by!
