A 12x12 Shadowbox of Our Parents From Just Yesterday...

 
When I saw these photographs, I fell in love not only with them but with all they represented. My husband is a romantic and I see where he gets it from. That is very special to me and not something that I knew from the photographs but something we have all witness from our parents throughout the years. This is my husband, Jerry's, parents, Milford and Faye Newton-Cobbs. I believe when they were dating and first married.

I wanted to show you this photograph even

though there is a glare from the camera so that

you could see the bright paper and elements

of the design...beautiful...not much was needed from

the artist...

I didn't cut the photographs down for this because I 

felt the area they were taken in were important. The bottom

photograph was taken in Faye's parents home, which is in very poor

shape now. Something we all will treasure a glimpse of.

 

I layered the flower embellishments

and created the bling up the side to balance

the page...

The photograph had a blue smudge

on the side so I covered it with flowers...

perfect for the photograph...

LOVE their happiness!!!

More treasured elements to assent the

special moments and smiles in these photographs...

Jerry's dad, Milford, smiles with his whole face, just like Jerry does and our son, Garrett. That is what I see in these photographs. Faye and I sit back and look at these men and who they have grown to be and feel blessed that we have been a part of watching them become who they are in Him. How precious that truly is...

Hugs, Rita

Truly, Happy New Year...
