Yesterday I pulled out some scrapbook pages I made a few years ago. I have a bunch of vintage pictures my dad asked me scrapbook for him and I figured it’s time to get at least a few of them taken care of!
As I said, I made these pages a few years ago, the stamp set I used here, Friends 24-7, is now retired. These pictures are of my grandparents. Of course the flash always creates problems with the pictures.
I’m afraid a lot of my vintage style pages do tend to be a little feminine but I don’t think my grandpa would put up too big of a fuss if he was here to see them, at least not the ones of both him and grandma.
When it comes to a layout with just pictures of Grandpa though, I guess I should try for a little more masculine style. If you know me, you know I like to create in black and white. When I created this layout a few years ago I knew it needed black and white photos.
This is a picture of my Grandpa and some coworkers at a power plant where he worked. It works wonderfully! This pictures has been on the page for a good while now . . .
. . . but I just put the pictures on this page yesterday. Even though I used a lot of swirls, I think I was able to pull of enough of a masculine look, don’t you?
I have to tell you, I’m going to have a hard time giving these scrapbook pages up, I think that’s why I’ve put off making the pages, the pictures mean so much to me! What an honor to be able to showcase them!
