Christine in Istanbul

These three pages are all connected. I'll let Christine's words tell the story.

Contemporary Oldies

A new twist on the heritage scrapbooking thing! I took a new picture of Homer and I and made it old looking and then put it into a heritage looking page.

Joseph and Mathilde

This is the only picture I have found of my great grandparents on my mother's side of the family. These are her father's parents. After Mathilde's death, Joseph came to live with my mother's family till he died.

Reuben and Mina

I don't remember seeing this picture of Reuben before. It must have been buried with the others and I missed it.

Madeline

Still in heritage scrapping mode. I like this graduation picture. How different from today.

Emilie

I had lost track of this photo of Papa's Grandmother on his father's side. I also just found a great new site for heritage scrapbooking and some of the elements and papers in this layout come from there.

Not your basic tourist spot

Christine took these photos while standing on the old wall surrounding the city of Istanbul's old town. I liked the composition and colors so had to make an"artsy " page with them.

Christine's first day in Istanbul

These two pages are from pictures of Christine's first day in Istanbul. As usual, she managed to cover a lot of real estate. Her pictures, her words wherever possible and my photoshop digital pages have the makings of a book as we progress through the photos. To read the journaling you do have to click on the page for it to be readable. I hope all of you blog readers are enjoying our joint effort.
