Lasting Memories Sentimental Journey

This week our challenge at Lasting memories was to create a page with a 'sentimental journey' theme and also to use computer text on our page.  I decided to create another page for my hubby's album.  I have kept all these pages fairly basic because it's more about the photos than it is the decorative element so this one had to be in keeping with the rest.

I just love looking at old photos don't you?  It was a real joy taking a 'sentimental journey' this week.  I love how everyone dressed back then, the cars - just everything - so nostalgic - so retro!  I just love retro and I love that it's makin a revival.

I decided to use my computer to create the strips of text that tell something about each photo.  I used a really nice 'old style' typewriter font and I numbered my text and photos to make it easier to follow.  These are the kind of memories that are important to document and I want things to be clear for future generations who might look at them.

And finally I added a nice sentiment that I found online but I decided to keep it small.  I wanted it to add to my page but didn't want it to take anything away from the photos.  If I had made it larger it might've been the first thing you noticed and I wanted the photos to be the first thing that draw the viewers eye.

I will be doing a tutorial this week on using your computer on layouts and have lots of different samples to share so you might want to check back for that one.

We also have a new DT member joining us at Lasting Memories - Kristie - so can I take this opportunity to say 'Hi & Welcome aboard!'.  You can check out her page plus all the other DT gals pages here.  Hopefully you'll be inspired to take your own sentimental journey!

Happy scrappin!
