As time goes by

Well welcome again all my lovelies.

This month I have done almost a double layout but I don't think it really is, what do you think?

The pics I have used are of my Great Grandmother, Annie, the first page shows her when she was 17 and I don't know her age in the second. I have been very lucky that I have a copy of her marriage certificate which shows that she married my Great Grandfather, Harry, when she was 19. She passed in 1963 when I was only 3 so I don't have any memory of her and very much doubt that I ever met her.

On the chipboard I used a couple of different colours of ink and found that white was perfect for the doors either side of the pic. The little green leaves are from the chipboard set that I have used on the next page. Also, I found that a bit of ink around the page adds to that bit of a vintage feel.

With the exception of the title I have kept the rest of the chipboard raw, I think it works so well with the colours in the paper and the feel of the pic. On the bottom right is a little envelope which holds a small tag with all the details about Annie and her marriage on it. Some muslin, something I know Sofie likes, which I very lightly inked adds to the vintage feel. I used a stencil with texture paste but felt it was too stark, so I repositioned it back over the stencil and lightly inked with the same colour I used on the muslin. The small String Circles from the set was cut in half and off centered either side of the pic. I liked how the bling looked on the previous page so added some to this. Two of the lace motiffs were cut in half and tucked under the cluster in the top left corner and bottom right of the pic.
