It feels as if it has been days and days now that I've been sorting out my scrapbooking room. And I haven't finished yet. I've collected a stash over the last year that needed re-organising, so I could find what I was looking for without a major search amongst the older stash collected in years past!
And during this major re-organisation, I came across the beginnings of a double layout that I think I began in a class some years ago and abandoned. It had just the background completed and a framed photo of a paternal grandmother who should perhaps have a number of 'greats' attached to her. I must find out more about this dark haired young woman. It must have been years ago that I began this double layout judging by the patterned paper adhered to the cardstock and the circular cut framing.
I really didn't like the colours on the layout - a bit dour I think, and neglecting the tidy up, decided that I would try something different. A more modern approach to scrapping family history photos. And I wouldn't complete a double layout, but a single. I know that more often I'll have to challenge myself to do doubles again!
So, I've attached a photo here of the left side of the double layout I found, to show what I began with, although I chose to use the right hand side for my revamped layout. This was relatively quick to put together once I'd worked out how to overcome the colouring I didn't favour.
And I've added a layout of another family photo using mostly Webster's Pages. Much more finesse with that one I think.
