Thanks for posting again Marilyn, and wow! what a great photo to have!! It actually looks like a 'modern' photo with the lady's lovely big hat and love the smaller details too, like the gentleman holding a cigarette while getting a photograph taken, lol! Love it!
Beautifully scrapped layout as well!
Wowser! Stunning LO, Marilyn! I love the 20s, 30s, 40s. This is so chic - I'm in awe!
What a
perfect LO. I have a few photos of my paternal grandmother, fewer still of my maternal - and I knew them both! These two LOs are just treasures!Photo is of my paternal grandmother (woman with head scarf) from May, 1950:
Thank you, Ona! My shoulder is improving slowly. I hope the PT will get back the feeling in my left hand and give me some control over it.

@Susan - s3js Thank you for your sweet comments. I lived in the same building as my maternal grandparents, so I have quite a few there, not so many on my paternal grandparents. I never met my paternal grandfather; he passed away 20+ years before I was born. But then I have many, many images I have scanned from my DH's grandparents and immediate family.
Oh no! I hope you begin to improve soon! Please take care.

You are fortunate to have lived so close but I'll bet you couldn't get away with anything!@Susan - s3js Thank you for your sweet comments.

Thanks for the well wishes. I had a pretty good day today. I'm hopeful and will overcome!
This is my maternal ancestral home. I've been playing with some ways to scrapbook the places when I don't have many or any photos of the people. I do have a couple of pictures of my 2X great grandparents, William Henry Sr. and Jane Eyre Winter but I have used them in other places for this album, so I elected to just do Fulbeck. I hope to get a second page done with the house they likely lived in and some other things, but I kind of like playing with style and I'll have to see if this artsy piece will go with the album or not. I have another made that will, if it doesn't but I couldn't find the photo for it on Geograph to get the photographer's name, so I didn't want to publish it. I found all the photos in that series are gone so they owner must have taken them down and revoked use of them by the CC 2.0 license.
The photo is a self-portrait that my mother's father took of himself and her mother in about 1912. He was a traveling photographer.

Here's one slightly more recent of DH and his sister done for the copycat challenge.

Was looking through my dad's photos - when he passed I got a lot of scanned photos on discs. Unfortunately, many of them are tiny, but I decided - minimalist layouts is the way to go. On this photo you can see my maternal grandfather Bertil and his mother Milda. I can only guess when this photo is born, and my guesstimate is in the 1960s sometime. I met Milda when I was very little, she was old and not well. Sadly, it was a bit of a scary experience for me. From what I've understood, she was a sweet lady. My grandfather was a fantastic man - always happy and fun. Both of them was over 90 when they passed - I hope to have inherited that gene!

Thanks Marilyn @mcurtt and Jean @scrap-genie. This feedback encourages me to sometimes go out on that limb!My vote is to include it in your album. It is lovely.
Eva, this photo is priceless. I'm so glad you used this composition that makes the photo's voice sing!Was looking through my dad's photos - when he passed I got a lot of scanned photos on discs.

This is perfect. I love the photos where the pose isn't perfect. It gives us glimpses into who people are mot just what the looked like.Here's one slightly more recent of DH and his sister done for the copycat challenge.

Thanks so much. Really, that is what makes this photo special and then scraplifting Miki makes for a great start!
