It took me forever to figure out what I wanted to do with this Tag Tuesday challenge-I am not a scrapbooker and envy those who are-but I finally came up with something the day before a new challenge comes out-late, as usual! Anyway, these little photos are computer copies of my paternal grandparents, who were very much in love for the entire time they were together. Sadly, my grandfather passed away only 4 years after their 25th wedding anniversary, in 1955. My grandma lived a full life, but remained devoted to her sweetheart, never marrying again, even though she was a widow at the age of only 54, and lived until 1979. They were wonderful, wonderful people. My dad is now gone, too, but his brothers are still with us, one turning 80 and the other turning 69 this year. This wonderful theme over at Kard Krazy has inspired me to look into learning how to scrapbook so that I can try and preserve the precious memories of my family. Thanks, Louise for a great theme!

Jann, I'm so glad you gave this a try. You'd be a natural at creating a heritage album. Just do what you did on this tag -- only bigger:) I loved seeing your family photos, thanks for sharing.
A wonderful tag all the way around!
Jann, this looks like a tapestry of life with that beautiful ribbon and background. Your grandparents look so fantastic on their honeymoon, they look so dashing. This is so beautiful.

I love this tag (somehow missed this one) and the wonderful photos and stamping you used on it. Thank you for the kind comments on my blog. Believe me - I do sleep ...I am out like a light by 9:15 pm every night! I am blessed to be married to a man who allows me to create when I am not a work...and he cooks,cleans and picks up the slack! :)
Bittersweet story, and a beautiful tag!
