This layout was for the UKS challenge last week. To use a photo of an event either from now or during May in 'history'. To use an irregular sized photo and to use two embellies beginning with B.
I used this photo of my brother Rich being brought from Okehampton on Dartmoor where he was born, to our paternal grandparents Granny & Granddad Edwards in Ilfracombe for his first visit, on our way to Lundy (Island, where we lived). Granny Dennis took the photo as she was helping Mum get back to the island with us both.
They were both already into their 70's by then as Dad was adopted by Granny when she went with her daughter to adopt her daughter. If that makes any sense? There was a generation gap, if that helps!
Granddad was 78 here and died the year after so this is only one photo I can find with us in with him. So well done Granny D for getting the shot as Rich is clearly screaming and it would have been easy to abandon the idea!
So, a big event, I trimmed the photo square and added 3 sequins for the bling.
Thanks for coming by =)
