Completed 2 challenges over at SNC....

 I love 2-fers. Honestly I didn't plan it that way.
It all started out with the pattern paper challenge.
1 floral, 1 striped, 1 polka dot, 1 checked - I substituted
ledger paper for checked. And why not.
And as I laid it out with 6x6 papers - stitched
added some rubons over the washi tape and added the circle
with transparency and mats..
It did scream heritage.
Which led me to the afore photo. 
And then the journaling challenge.
 And how smooth did that work out.
You see I know who's in the photo - my grandparents.
I know nothing else.
Well except its spring or their clothes look springy.
This is in Pennsylvania- 
 And they are all decked out.
And not well off.
And they did get married in June.
(did you notice the pearls? pearls are the modern
stone for June). Clever eh?
Butterflies for spring....
And in putting all what I know together,
I'm assuming this could've been
their wedding day.
Since there is no one that can tell me. 
I can only assume. 
Sadly.
Get those stories while you can and document them.
