Scrapbook page by Merrilynne Harrington
An elegant scrapbook page that is loaded with vintage finds: like heirloom baubles, antique patterns, buttons, jewels and more!
In the Nostalgia Collection, warm memories of the past are captured in pretty little alphabets, patterns and graphics reminiscent of treasures found in grandma's box of tattered buttons and heirloom costume jewels.
About this layout: This photo of Merrilynne's grandmother, Margaret is a family favorite! A third-generation photograph was taken of Margaret's maternal grandmother (who was 64 at the time), Margaret's mother (who was 32) and Margaret's older sister (who was 16).
At age 8, Margaret simply didn't understand why she couldn't be in the three-generations' photo. Afterall, her age was exactly 1/2 that of her older sister, Helen! A compromise was made and an individual shot was taken of Margaret. It's apparent in this photo that for Margaret, this wasn't an ideal solution--she still wanted to be in the generation shot!
