During World War II, my father served as a waist gunner in the Eighth Air Force on a B-17 Flying Fortress. While he was stationed in England, he kept a photo album filled with pictures of his companions, the planes that came back damaged, and most of all, of friends and family back home.
One of my nephews spent countless hours scanning the album as well as a pocket diary and a scrapbook filled with newspaper clippings that my grandmother put together.
I’ve selected this image from my father's album for this year’s Mother’s Day layout. It’s simply captioned “Mary Jane 1942”.

This is stunning! I really love how the orange is so bright but still looks vintage at the same time. I am sure that album is priceless and you will put it to good use making pages for all the cool photos. fave
What a gorgeous layout! The picture is wonderful and I really enjoyed reading the story behind it. Your color scheme, flowers, lace, papers and design are lovely.
