Hi all. It is Marilyn here and I'm back for another "scrap an old photo" challenge. As many of you know, heritage layouts are near and dear to me. This time, while you will have to dig into your archives for your photograph, you won't have to go too far back in time. The photo requirement for this challenge is that it has to be at least 10 years old and that it has new meaning for you.

FYI... Without trying to depress anyone, my DH passed away this April, 2023, and I grieve every day. My first thought was to select a photo of the two of us from our care-free days. I chose one from 1972. We met in February of that year, and I doubt at the time that either of us thought that we would still be a couple in 2023. But we persevered and time flew by. In addition to referencing the good times we had over the years, I added a quote to my layout that rang true:

Though nothing can bring back the hour,
Of splendour in the grass,
of glory in the flower,
We will grieve not, rather find,
Strength in what remains behind.
--William Wordsworth


I used Lynn & Rachel's Hear My Voice - Masking Collection, mostly Lynn's products...



And here is one from @flowersgal with a newly discovered photo. I encourage you to read her journaling.

Challenge Requirements:
  • Create a new scrapbooking page.
  • Use a photo that is at least ten years old.
  • Explain on your layout why this photo has new meaning to you.
  • Use a minimum of 75% Lynn Grieveson Products.
  • Post your page to Lynn Grieveson's Designer Gallery, and then come back to this thread and post a link to your layout. (Please link your thread to your gallery image as it helps us leave love on your layout and validate your project).
  • Please remember to follow Gallery Guidelines and list your credits in the gallery posting.
  • No double-dipping…your layout must be created for this challenge only, no others.
  • This challenge will remain open until October 31, 2023.
The Prize:
  • Lynn will be giving everyone who participates a discount coupon for her store that will give you 15% off when you spend over $10.
  • One random winner will get a $8 coupon for Lynn's Store
  • AND Lynn will be awarding a prize of $20 at the end of the year to a random winner from everyone who completes at least one of Lynn's challenges every month. There is a tracking thread for your participation layouts here.
Thanks for joining the October challenge. Happy scrapping.

Thankyou for this challenge. It was good scrap therapy as I got to see my three granddaughters this past week but my husband did not:
 
I scrapped a photo I found while selecting photos for my father's memorial service that became more meaningful after I heard the remembrances that were shared during the service.

 
Thank you all for participating. There were so many heartfelt layouts. :heartslub

The random winner for this month's challenge is @A-M

Congrats, Anne-Marie, I will be posting the coupon to your inbox!
Next, I'm off to send all of you your participation coupons.

FYI... All coupons have been sent. Enjoy!
