The other day I received a message to join a new FB group that is populated by people related to me through my dad. For someone who is fond of heritage pages and doesn't have more than a handful of photos from her father's side of the family this is a fabulous opportunity.

So, photo no.1 ...

I clipped the photo to the torn photo template mask, then stacked torn papers under the photo. I also added a little brushwork to give the page some color (inspired by this week's color challenge ;-) ). There were already staples on the scanned image, so I found a similar staple and lined it up over the ones on the photo and added drop shadows. Since there was a lot of journaling, I tried to keep the design tight and centered. Once all the journaling was done, I added the SandScratched Overlays to the edges. I also added the date up top, then called it done.

Thanks for looking
