This is a photo of Mum, taken when she was about 3 or 4 years old. I actually got the idea for the title, from my Dad, who when he saved the photo image on his computer, titled it "Pretty as a picture" which was really sweet. He so adores my Mum :-)
I love this photo of my Mum, she really does look so pretty here, carefree and innocent, sweet and feminine with the cute bow and curls in her hair. I know this is a heritage photo and bright colours are not the norm, but my Mum grew up in a row of terrace houses in post-WW2 Britain and times were hard. They didn't have a garden or lots of flowers, so I wanted to create a lo that made it look like she was sitting in a flower garden.
The pearl flourish at the bottom was originally pink, which did not match the colour palette, so I spritzed it with Tattered Angels Chalk Mist, to get the color I wanted.
Thanks to (Flying Unicorn) Alda for the Dusty Attic flowers, they were perfect for this lo.
I really enjoyed creating this page, it's so nice to work with flowers again.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving your comments and votes. I really appreciate you taking the time.

This LO is both beautiful and touching. I think your choice of color was brilliant. I sincerely believe that if we want future generations to appreciate the family history albums that we labor over, it is absolutely necessary to provide eye appeal. Your choice of colors with the B&W photo are perfect. They complement the photo without overpowering it, and help attract the eye of a younger person who has never experienced or appreciated the power of old B&W photos, movies or TV. Congratulations on a great job.

I love this LO and the story behind it. I don't necessarily think heritage means you have to use dull colors.

Beautiful. She definitely deserves to be surrounded by the beautiful flower garden. You did a great job. Heritage does not always have to be dark . You just proved it.
