Great Grandparents (1904) ~ Sketch Along Tuesday at Frosted Designs

Hi everyone!  It's Tuesday and that means another Sketch Along Tuesday over at Frosted Designs, and this one is by DT Member Diana.. and it's a great one..

So many possibilities with this one ~ just let your imagination go wild....  I thought it was a perfect sketch for a vintage layout, so that's what I went with and I really love the way this one came out...  The photo is of my Great Grandparents, which I never knew..  My Great Grandfather died before my Granddad was even born and by Great Grandmother died before I was born..  I found this wonderful photo in my Grandmother's photo album which I inherited after she died.. (Don't tell my sister and brothers ~ but hey, it stayed in my Grandmother's house for 4 years after she died, and since I live the furthest away and they didn't take it, I did  this last summer when I went back home!!)  She has some fabulous old family photos,  some in pretty good shape and some that aren't, but they all mean so much to me..  And I am so happy to keep them for the next generation!!!

Here's my take on Diana's wonderful sketch!!

And here are a few close-ups

Here is a close up of a lacy frame that I got when I went to the Creative Keepsakes Convention held in San Marcos this last September.

Here is my flower cluster

This was cut with the Tim Holtz, Alterations Baroque Sizzix Die and I printed the names off of the computer... Added a Rub-on some brads and sponged around the edges... and some of the black pearls..
