Thank you, everyone.

You know Pam, it's a curse, really it is. I swear these old photos multiply in the boxes when I ignore them too long. My grandmother had her photos, plus the ones she inherited from her mom, plus the ones from her dad, plus the ones from her aunt and grandmother that her dad had at his death. Plus my Mom's that my grandmother still had hold of from when my Mom was a child. I try to give away the duplicates and can't find a taker! Now I just toss the dupes.

But when I complain about having a dozen photos of a great-aunt, I think of our grandchildren and their kids. Can you imagine the digi photo overload they will be dealing with?

I think this qualifies for this month's challenge:

I used a black and white photo that was then "recolorized" using watercolor markers and white background paper, and a tranparency with black flocking. There is a piece of pink lace for the fiber and black ink used for the journaling.

Beautiful page, Gwen! Did you make the ribbon rose? or is it paper?

The rose is paper, made by Prima--I love their flowers--they make such a great variety!

Such wonderful layouts. Since we still have some time left in this month I am in hopes of being able to do one. Like Beth I have many old family photos.

Beth - photo overload is why I stopped freaking out over what I put on a page. Sure, some of my photos are just priceless (to me) so I am extra careful about those pages - otherwise, I do what makes me happy that day.
And guess what? I take more photos now than ever before - LOL!

A few more hours - take a look at some of the Camp challenges - see if you can combine the challenges to submit in more than one thread...
