I think the layout took less time to create, then finding a photo of DH and I together, LOL! I ended up using the first photo DH and I have as husband and wife. We eloped so I don't have any wedding photos, but that doesn't make this photo any less special to me. The photo was taken way before digital cameras and was in color. I really needed a black and white photo for the layout, so I snapped a photo of the photo. With a bit of tweaking in GIMP and printing on cardstock you can't tell its a photo of a photo.
Having just turned the big 40, I can't get over how young we look here, lol. I look back and count all the blessings that have come into my life since becoming a wife and a mother and I feel so lucky!
