SOUS # 10

Here is my interpretation of Sketch # 10 over at SOUS www.stuckonusketches.blogspot.com


The sketch.... by Becky Fleck....


I have used papers by Black Market Paper Society "Vintage Romance"....

Title and leaves cut from Storybook cart, and flowers by Prima (of course)....

The photograph is my maternal Grandparents, a photograph I didn't realise I had....

I inherited a lot of 'old' photo's, like this one, when my elderly auntie died in 1998 (the best maid in the photo, Gran's sister, she was 91). Anyway, I have looked over the photo's many times, because of course they have no names or dates on them, and only ever recognized my auntie (because I knew her!!)

Gran died when I was two, so I have no memory of her, and Grandpa died when I was six, and I have some memories of him, though few....

Over the past few years I have asked various family members if they had a wedding photo of my Grandparents - nobody did. Since discovering scrapbooking and geneology, my family tree is growing by leaps and bounds.

When this sketch was posted I rummaged through my paper stash and came across these papers by Black Market Society, thought a vintage photo would be appropriate and pulled out the 'old' photo's.

I recognised Grandpa immediately....

Isn't it funny, I have looked at these photo's maybe 50 times since they came to my possession, (I love looking at old photo's!!!) and it never clicked, then suddenly, my heart skipped a beat, I have had a wedding photo of my maternal grandparents for 12 years and didn't know....

Here is that photo....

A new family treasure....
