My dad had so many adventures when he was young. He came from a large tenant farmer family. He left home at 15 and joined the United States Air Force when he as barely 18 (rumors were he was 17). So his adventures began. Dad loved photography so I have an abundance of documentation. The best documented was his first oversea assignment in 1956--Okinawa.
Graphic 45's Bird Song was the best paper collection for this particular layout. My local scrapbook store only had three sheets left and two were the same sheet. So this was a challenge.

I was able to solve the problem of having only 3 sheets of paper for this layout by mixing in several other Graphic 45 paper collections. The colors are perfect together.
Dad's photography documenting the everyday life in Okinawa is outstanding. The larger photo is of my Dad at 20 years old. This was just the beginning of my Dad's adventures.
How old are the oldest of your family photos?

The 4th of July Peach Festival is a great place to shop, especially for handcrafted items. I found one shop selling hat pins that had a look and feel of a vintage hat pin. The woman was surprised when I told her I was going to use them to scrapbook. LOL

ReplyDeleteI know that I have some photos of my grandma from when she was a little girl and she was born in 1917. So I would say it's around 90 years old!
Wow! I never really gave it a thought til just now.
I don't have that many older photos. I wish I did because my grandparents did a lot! This is such a great subject and layout.
ReplyDeleteHow amazing to have these photos! This is perfect!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love this layout! The hat pin is perfect! I don't know the exact age of them, but I have tin types of my great, great-grandparents. I am thankful that I went through them while my grandfather was still alive and asked him to identify everyone in the oldest photos.
ReplyDeleteP.S. It has been great having you back on the Fiskateer board!
