The Ring - Let's Get Shabby Challenge




I don't have many photos of my Wedding Day as the album was severely damaged in a flood. These faded b/w images are all I have left. The rings, my wedding ring and engagement ring were stolen during a burglary in 1982, so the pictures of them are especially precious. I had taken them off after breaking my wrist as the plaster had caused my fingers to swell. We were burgled just before I was to have them enlarged a little. I chose a monchromatic page to bring the faded photos forward. Hope you like it, I'm late with it again. Thank you for looking, it makes me extra happy if can leave me your thoughts too.

    Thank you Val. Yes I have about 8 photos left that weren't too badly water damaged but this one is especially precious. xx

    oh Jeanie, what a terrible shame about your rings and the album, I can see why this photo and page are all the more precious. I think you did a beautiful job of it, and you are so right the memories are more important. CoB

    Thank you Jo and Carole for your lovely and kind comments. You really are wonderful for my morale. Each picture will feature in a challenge I think, that way it sparks me to be creative.

    Hey Jean, great page. I can't believe your double bad luck with the photos and then the rings, but nothing can take your memories away :-)
