Heritage Challenge No. 1

Welcome to our first Heritage Challenge! Molly, Lynn, and I will be taking turns hosting challenges scrapping heritage photos every other Monday at Designer Digitals.

The word “heritage” refers to something inherited from one’s ancestors, so to find heritage photos, you only need to go back one generation. For our purposes, that means that photos from the 1970s or earlier are considered heritage photos. Yikes! My childhood is now heritage. LOL!

Our first challenge is to scrap some heritage wedding or wedding-related photos. Paula and Stacy joined me for this challenge.

Paula scrapped this beautiful layout from 1966 using shades of gray and white. The beautiful texture of the paper really draws the eye straight to the photo.

Supplies: Create a Book Posted No. 8, Alandia Collection, Wedding No. 1 Hand Drawn Brushes, Love Grows No. 2 Brushes and Stamps

Stacy scrapped a beautiful engagement photo. She also used a gray background, but set off her black and white photo with some flowers, stripes, and brighter colors.

Supplies: Spring Roll Kit, Stitched by Anna Cream No. 3, Dirty Frames Curled and Flat, Stitched Chip Strips

And, finally, another gray layout! LOL! Unbeknownst to each other, all three of us chose shades of gray for our layouts. We’d love to see your layouts with some other colors.   I chose to scrapbook several smaller photos from my parents’ wedding.

Supplies: Painterly Dots Background Papers, Baby Pink Patterns + Solids Papers, Photography Word Art, All Good Kit, Postage Frame Super Pack, Word Strip Labels, Treasured Memory Brushes and Stamps, Fasten Its

We can’t wait to see your heritage wedding photos! Post them right HERE in our new Heritage Gallery!
