Zimbabwe 1993

I decided to do another scrap page - one page turned into three! I decided to go dig out some old holiday snaps. Let me emphasise the word "OLD" here. I am SO disappointed with these pages given the age of the photo and how poorly they scanned. Most were just useless and could not be used. How spoilt are we these days when it comes to zoom and cropping. I so loved my solo holiday adventure to Africa way back in the summer of '93/94. Loved it so much I went back some time later to live and work. But I digress. When I lived in Africa and got a bit down, my friend and I used to play "I'm happy because ...." and we had to think of all the reasons why that moment in life was good. So given my unhappiness with these results, time to play "I'm happy because".


I'm happy because:


1. I had a lovely trip down memory lane going through all my old photos (THANK YOU SUE - would not have done it without your prompting)


2. I have finally scanned some of these precious photos to computer


3. I have created a wonderful talking point with my children about the adventures their Mamma used to get up to.


See! So many reasons to feel satisfied.

Too cool! One of the places I really want to see someday. I so know what you mean about the pictures too. I have two-years' worth of photos from Europe and it's so disappointing to think of what I could have had. Love your take on the template too!
 
How did I miss this? That shot of the falls - spectacular! And I love, love, love the 3 images on the bottom! Are they photos? If so, tell me what you did to them!
 
What a spectacular photo! And even though some of the pics may not impress other people, there's still more than enough there to bring back memories for you and that's what's important. On the pics that are really poor quality now-think about just blending them into the background and doing your journaling over the top. They'll still bring back your memories and the blending will disguise the condition of the pics. (I had to do this with a lot of my Mom's old slides) Don't know about the rest of your pics, but this page is just stunning! I love how you altered the bottom section of the template to suit your needs.
 
WHAT?!?! Did I read that you weren't happy with the photo?? Are you INSANE??? Well, yes- you ARE!!!! This layout is breathtaking- pictures included!!!!! DAG!
