    Hi and welcome to Lynn's first challenge in October and this challenge is to scrap an old photo. Read the instructions carefully as I want to know a little bit more about the photo you are using!
    • Use one old photo. If you can choose the oldest one in your possession, that would be fantastic. The photo must be at least 10 years old. Often times old photos are faded, stained or torn. You may edit your photo or leave it as is to show its age.
    • In your layout, be sure to include the date of the photograph, or at least a circa.
    • In your layout, also include a bit of journaling regarding what the photo is all about, why it is meaningful to you...
    • Use at least 75% of Lynn’s products.
    • Upload your layout to this thread.
    • Please upload to Lynn's gallery at The LilyPad following the gallery posting rules.
    • Link your gallery image to this thread.
    • You have from now until the 31st of October to create your vintage layout.
    Here is my layout:

    I used the kit Be Kind and Layered up Photo Spots

    Here are layouts from our amazing CT!

    From Angela Toucan-using Happiness Is Templates, Botanical Mix No 1, and Summer Ease Worn Photos. Title - From Up Here Kit. Font: Journal.

    After the challenge ends, all participants will receive a 25% off coupon for Lynn’s products. Should you have any questions, feel free to tag me @sharonb in this post and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks.

    Here is a clickable link to my gallery & the credits. For this, it was a relatively "new" photo from circa 1940. But when I think about it, that is 80 years old. OMG! The black newspaper caption is in Polish.

    Thanks for another wonderful challenge. I scrapped pictures of my paternal grandparents, circa 1930's.
