Friday Post / PPF

Hi Everybody!

It's Friday already - where did the week go?

Today I am sharing a hybrid journal page made using an image of my great auntie Fanny. I used a photo of rust for the background and added embellishments from Serif:



I am linking to Wendy's vintage challenge at AJJ.

And I have another tag for Sandie's bookpaper challenge at Tag Tuesday



I am also linking to Paint Party Friday

I have been enjoying the ever changing skies here:















From a cemetery in London:


Cheers!


There are several of these signs to be seen in London these days:


Be cautious!


Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  8. Great photos (Oh Em Gee at the petrol pump) with beautiful skies, great tag (love the boldness of the man) and a great journal page. I love rust and you have got the perfect rust on here and how lovely does it look with all those flowers. You have chosen the perfect ones to compliment your aunt and the rust.
    Love it.
    Hugs, Neet xx

  9. I had an aunt Fanny as well - she was my great aunt. I wish I had a picture of her when she was younger. She was one of my favorite aunts. I love how you framed yours up -she is sooo pretty.

    Very cool tag too - love the flower on his hat - very unexpected and fun.

    They skies are amazing - you captured the amazing so well. Those signs were unusual and very unexpected as well.

    Fun post as always, Valerie.

    1. Thanks Nancy! It seems that Fanny was the name of several favourite great aunts! She was always a very kind and good hearted person. I spend a lot of time watching the sky, always fascinating. Have a great day, hugs, Valerie

  10. The page you created with your Aunt Fanny is beautiful. So old-fashioned and romantic. The gent with the flower on his bowler reminds me of Monty Python. So fun. Gorgeous skies. Enjoy your day

  18. Good morning Valerie: Your great auntie Fannie has been featured several times in your creations if I am not mistaken. I wonder how she would feel about her image travelling all over the world, something she could probably never have imagined during her lifetime. I bet she would have been pleased! Yesterday I filled up with gas knowing that tomorrow I will be leading a walk for eager birders down to the north shore of Lake Ontario. I have to say that I never for a moment considered performing either of the tasks indicated on the pump you show. I think the warning is probably aimed an violent anti-vaxxers who might well be tempted to do it, thinking no doubt it is an alternative treatment for COVID, which is a hoax anyway of course. Maybe they should do it. Might even be the most intelligent thing they have done. My daughter and my grandson will be arriving today for a weekend visit and to join my outing tomorrow, so if I am tardy getting to your blog you will understand, I hope. Until the next time, hugs and kisses, David.

    1. Hi David! Yes, I use my family members in a lot of my vintage pages. Auntie Fanny and Erika and my mother would have all been delighted! I'm so glad that you managed to fill your car with gas and knew where to put the nozzle and where not! There are evidently people who are stupid enough to do things like this! If the anti Vaxxers can take veterinary medicines as a prevention for Covid, why not gas? I wish you a happy time with your daughter and grandson, don't worry about commenting, have some family time! Hugs to you all!

  28. I love that page of your Aunt Fanny. It is a beautiful tribute. And I like that tag a lot too. The back of the man looks super on the book page. And Nice sky photos, but interesting photos from London. The time travel one is fun. Hope it was a great FRiday. I'm in catch up and off to read your latest post. Hugs-Erika

  29. I am so sorry I'm late visiting. Your Aunt Fanny looks so good in front of the rusty background. I'm in awe of this beauty you created for us at AJJ using Wendy's theme.

    That tag is great. I love the idea of white collar, signifying class structure. The use of book pages in the background really set the man off.

    LOVE the sky shots and the DEAD photo from the city of London. I'm off to see what else I've missed, dear.

    Thank you so much for supporting my theme Valerie...x

  32. That wave in her hair is delightful. The pink flower on the back of the gentleman's hat is perfect. Your skies are gorgeous with so many kinds of clouds.

    The "dead" monument is impressive.
