WOW! @jlholden15 has outdone herself with this fabulous art journal page. I love the colors, the graphics, the edginess - everything!

Girl, this is gorgeous! I lvoe the understated feel of the Lo. It lets that magical photo shine!

There really is quite a lot going on her, but the page reads almost minimalist. Love it!

Stacy, this is precious indeed. Your cluster is lovely, great masking. Wonderful LO!

Beautiful blending. I love the deep rich colors, too. Very nicely done!

This is so soft and lovely and beckons the viewer to come in for a closer look. Wanna take a walk up that path with me?

Chris, this is phenomenal. It looks like a nature page you would make and press. I love it - and the feelings it conveys. I think it deserves a Standing O!

This LO by @faerywings speaks to my soul! I love the natural look of it and can almost feel each element. Altogether wonderful and touching!

What a great photo. It's interesting that he is standing and she is seated. You don't see that very often, it's usually the other way around. Neat!

Benjamin Eyre Catton was my 1st cousin 3 times removed. His mother and my 2X great grandmother were sisters. This LO was a bit complex. I started off with the photo of the house, adjusted its color to match the wedding photo, then tried a sketch effect action that seems to work really well...

Absolutely lovely! Color is never out of place, I think. They didn't live in black and white, sepia or monochrome. I really makes your kin come alive in this beautiful LO!

What a sweet photo, Linda! I have deep roots in Iowa and my cousin has some cabinet cards with this same cover so she researched the photographer. William C. Edinger was in Plymouth County, Iowa (county seat Sioux City) clear across the state to the northwest on the 1885 Iowa State Census and...

Jean. this is a perfect genealogy LO. Thanks for sharing!

Kay, those are some amazing stories! Your grandfather must have had such an interesting job! You know, that chair shows up in a lot of my family photos, too. It must have been a favortie of the photographic community. It sure helps date photos!

Jane! This is a gorgeous LO. She looks to be quite the character!

Sylvia, this LO is so lovley and so special! That photo is fabulous and the sotry is so bittersweet. How sad for you and your Dad not to know them well.

These are wonderful, Jane!

The oldest I have that I am confident of authenticity and date is this one of my great grandfather Thomas Jefferson WOOD and his first wife (that I am positive of, he may have had only 2, but perhaps as many as 4 that gave him 21 children) Mary Jane "Janie" LOVE. We call him TJW because we have...

Ah, but these are some really fun ones. We at least have movies from this time frame to help us date them.
