Happy Mother’s Day!

A couple of years ago, my uncle scanned some family pictures and posted them in an online album.  I had fun pulling pictures from there to create this quick MDS project that features my mother, grandmother and great grandmother.

The first page is my beautiful mother.  Isn’t she just lovely and cute?  The oval picture on the right was taken when she was in high school and the picture on the bottom right was taken when I was in high school.

This second page features my mother’s mother – my grandmother.  She was a beautiful woman also.  She was very bright and enjoyed reading.  She was an exceptional seamstress and was always busy creating baby booties for her dozens of grandchildren and great grandchildren.

This is my great grandmother – mother to Josie.  At the bottom of the page you will see a picture of her on the beach in her bathing suit.  Yes, that’s a bathing suit.  Check out the shoes!  The story is that she splurged to buy the suit, paying $25.  So how does that compare to today?  Calculating inflation that suit would cost over $530 today!  Yousa!

All three pages were created using the Vintage Overlay 12 x 12 designer template, copied three times.  Then I rearranged and added and deleted elements to create three different pages.
