Hi Everybody!
Yesterday was cool, but we had blue skies and sunshine, and I enjoyed my walk down to the Rhine. We have been promised good weather over the weekend, so I'm hopeful!
I have another hybrid page for my family scrapbook. The picture shows the wedding of my great uncle Benny and his wife Mari back in the 1920s. My mum and her 2 sisters were bridesmaids. My mum - 2nd from the left -was thrilled at having such a wonderful dress, and tried to sneak out to school wearing it, but was stopped....She is the only one smiling on the photo! I used elements from Serif and me and a freebie from Foxey Squirrel.
Yesterday was a real blue sky day:
I love how the new leaves are sparkling in the rising sun:
The neighbour's magnolia tree:

Have a great weekend, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by:
Hi Valerie, oh i love your page ,such a wonderful memory and loving your pics the blossoms in the tree are beautiful xx
ReplyDeleteFantastic post Val. Love the first piece starring your Mum, it's a fantastic photo to use and I love the surroundings you made for it. Great photos, we had sun here, too, it was good to feel some warmth. Enjoy your day, we're off to visit my sister. Look after yourself, hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteyour family page is fantastic,and the trees in the sun are beautiful.
ReplyDeletehappy weekend.

Absolutely gorgeous, soon we will have spring in Denmark
ReplyDeleteA beautiful memory within a memory, how funny to know your Mum had tried to sneak out to school wearing it, how proud she must have been. Maybe that is why she is smiling in the picture thinking up the plan hee hee! Wishing you sunshine today and more walks among Nature.

A lovely page and a beautiful memory. Your mother has a beautiful smile and she looks so pleased to be grown up and in a pretty dress. It's a lovely photograph. So nice to see Spring has arrived in your corner. We had some snow yesterday and it's still on the ground. Flowering trees, leaves, and pretty pansies are a long way off. Today is January 97, 2018. Enjoy the sunshine and blue skies for me.
ReplyDeleteWow, what an amazing photo! I love your mum's dress and that lovely hat too, she looks so beautiful and happy đ. Thanks for sharing such lovely memories and of course your pretty blue skies! Happy weekend! J đ x
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to be the keeper of all these wonderful photos. And your digital entries put them to good use, too. I hope future generations appreciate these mixed media scrapbook pages as much as we all do. This is awesome, and I love how sweet your mother looks in that photo.
ReplyDeleteSpring has arrived in your world. We got ice and snow last night and this morning. That means all the buds on the trees and flowers are now dead. Record low temp they are telling us. Hope it's warm in your world today.
I love spring!!!!!!!! Beautiful photos, Valerie. And what a fabulous family page! Kisses, my friend.
ReplyDeleteWonderful family page, looks like spring is here everything coming to life.
ReplyDeleteA very beautiful family wedding photo, your mum's dress looks so pretty and she has a lovely happy smile. It is good to see spring coming and and the photos all looked wonderful with the blossoms and buds showing.

Your mom's dress does look fabulous. I can see why she was so excited. Such a beautiful picture and the page you made is just gorgeous. What a lovely keepsake.
ReplyDeleteSeeing signs of spring always fills me with such hope. Lots of signs in your pictures! :)
Have a wonderful weekend!

I love the family photo. The background is so warm and pretty and your mom is a picture herself. She had good reason to be proud of her dress. And look at those designer nylons/leggings on the person on the far left. Wondrous!
ReplyDeleteOh you have magnolias in your corner of the world too! They are the standard of the South:)
Hope your weekend is filled with sunshine, sparkle and spring flowers.
Hugs
SchĂśn wie du das schĂśne alte Foto digital dekoriert hast, so ist es ein dekoratives ErinnerungsstĂźck.
ReplyDeleteDeine sonnigen Fotos sind auch wieder gut gelungen. Hier waren es heute 25 Grad in der Sonne und wir waren den ganzen Tag im Garten um dort Alles her zu richten. Da war viel altes Laub und Moos zu beseitigen. Jetzt ist fast Alles fertig und die Gartenzeit ist erÜffnet. Die Sonne und Wärme tat richtig gut. Hoffedu hattest auch so schÜnes Wetter.
Liebe GrĂźĂe und schĂśnen Sonntag.
HUGS
