I created two versions for this theme and couldn't decide which one to choose so include both here on my blog. In the top picture, the background paper, stairs and overlays are by Lauren Bavin of Digital Scrapbook Place. The stitched circle is by Berna Datema, SBG. The main photo in both versions is one of my mother (on the left and her sister).
In the second picture, I used background and some elements by Dawn van der Stoep (Createwings Designs). The photos are from my own family albums.
Both of your pieces are real treasures, Marie, so lovely to include family photos, makes it so special!
ReplyDelete(NB no family photos in mine!!! LOL)
oh so neat to see them in two ways Maria!!! these are wonderful pieces...your work is always perfection!!!
ReplyDeleteI so love this photo, and what you've done with it is marvelous--both vintage and "romantic". Beautiful, Marie!
ReplyDeleteBoth pieces are exceptional, Marie. I love that you've used your personal photos to create them, and I'm happy that you've posted both of these lovelies. It's a double treat for your loyal fans!!! Hugs, Terri xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh Marie, how lovely that you've used your personal photos...your mom and aunt are beautiful! So are the two art pieces...I wouldn't be able to pick a favorite...both are gorgeous! Bravo! LynnF
ReplyDeleteBoth are equally fabulous, Marie!
ReplyDeleteWow Marie love your sisters.
ReplyDeleteIncredible work. Really facinating.
These are both beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour mom and aunt are beautiful ladies! Both creations are amazing. I wouldn't be able to choose a favorite.

ReplyDeleteWow, so wonderful both pieces, I especially like the dreamy romantic feel.
ReplyDeleteBoth pieces are perfect. My favourite is the second one.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pieces, Marie. The first one is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteYour relatives are very handsome as they used to say...in otherwords beautiful. Such elegant attire...beautifully created they are, all ready for Spring and Fall! Would be interesting to know what colors they originally were. Hugs, Gayle.
ReplyDeleteBoth pieces are so lovely Marie, there's no wonder that you couldn't choose. If I had to, it would be the second one, but just for the superb quote you've included. How lucky you are to own this little piece of history. Standing ovation Marie.
ReplyDeleteSo much fun to use photo's of your own!
ReplyDeleteI like them both, but prefer the second one!
That red with a vintage touch is just stunning! Like you can buy such a card in the bookshop..!
I agree, they are both beautiful, and the pic is gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteBoth are amazing.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the first one.
Very very beautiful artwork!!

i couldn´t decide for a favorite, both are great! always so special to include family photos!
ReplyDeletelove the colours on the top one and the vintage style on the second. great to use your own family photo's
ReplyDeleteMarie, what beautiful women you have in your family! Your art work with your personal photos is stunning. I loved the one you colored. It looks so natural to see the two in lilac. Then when I saw the vintage piece I just fell in love with it. Great job on both.
ReplyDeleteBoth pieces are wonderful, I can't get over how much they look alike and not be twins!!!
ReplyDeleteBonsoir Marie !
ReplyDeleteEn effet je comprends que le choix soit difficile !
Bonne idée d'avoir posté les deux versions ! je crois que je préfère la seconde image : celle en tons sépia ! mais les deux sont très belles !
j'ai fait comme vous , j'ai utilisé également une photo de famille pour ce challenge !
Bonne journée ! Amitiés Mary.KG
So wonderful Marie, great works.

They are both so lovely, Marie. I can see why you found it hard to choose - I think, for me, the lower one has the edge but....
ReplyDeleteMarie, This is a real gift, to show both, since it is a reminder of the infinite possibilities that exist for any given piece. They are both really gorgeous, and your mother and aunt, how beautiful! Love the hats... ~Sharon
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic! Such a nice thing to use a family photo:)

I really like your both creations, Marie. I have a sister and she is very important to me. And the quote in your card (A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost) is so true! We understand each other so well without words too, because we share the same childhood.
ReplyDeleteI'm clad you post these both creations - they are so touching!
