My take for this month includes

 a treasured photo of my

 Great Grandmother's younger sister

 and her husband

- taken a year after their marriage.

 

I only came into possession of

 this photo last year.

 

Our ancestors are all out there,

we just gotta find them

 - wish it was that

easy...lol

My black background has been

 punched with

 Martha Stewart's Deep Edge PATP

 "Spiral Arches",

 popped up onto another

 sheet of black

 American Crafts cardstock.

Love the subtle shadow effect it gives.

 

The background, distressed paper

 is from

 Daisy D's

 - a company that no longer exists!

 Been in my stash for a

VERY LONG time.

 

Just goes to show,

 everything will get used

 - eventually!!!

The gorgeous flowers are from

 Zva Creative

 and the wee punched

 blooms are

 "Geneva Vine" die

 from

 Memory Box.

The title block and watches

 are from

 Bo Bunny's

"Timepiece"

Collection.

The outer clock (black)

and the hinges are

Tim Holtz dies

"Weathered Clock"

and

 "Hardware Findings".

The little red pearls and

 black lace are from

 Kaiser.

The photo mat is punched with

 Martha Stewart PATP

 "Deco Fans".

You must have a play with

this gorgeous palette,

such rich autumnal

 colours.

 

Can you resist?

 

Just remember to start with a

 black background.
