I chose to make the wedding pictures in Sepia to compliment the beautiful paper I used on this layout.  I wanted a vintage look.  The chapel they were married in was an old stone chapel that had no electricity and was candle lit.  I also made another page that goes with this one.

This is just a picture of the corresponding layout of my entry....just so you can see how they work together.

This is so beautiful that I can't wait to start.  Just had to google it:   It is believed by some that the modern use of the phrase stems from an article by Fred R. Barnard in the advertising trade journal Printers' Ink, promoting the use of images in advertisements that appeared on the sides of streetcars.[4] The December 8, 1921, issue carries an ad entitled, "One Look is Worth A Thousand Words." Another ad by Barnard appears in the March 10, 1927, issue with the phrase "One Picture Worth Ten Thousand Words", where it is labeled a Chinese proverb. The Home Book of Proverbs, Maxims, and Familiar Phrases quotes Barnard as saying he called it "a Chinese proverb, so that people would take it seriously."[5] Nonetheless, the proverb soon after became popularly attributed to Confucius. The actual Chinese expression "Hearing something a hundred times isn't better than seeing it once" (百闻不如一见, p bǎi wén bù rú yī jiàn) is sometimes introduced as an equivalent, as Watts's "One showing is worth a hundred sayings".[6] This was published as early as 1966 discussing persuasion and selling in a book on engineering design.[7] In March 1911, in the Syracuse Advertising Men's Club, Arthur Brisbane wrote: "Use a picture. It's worth a thousand words."[8]

This is mine - my husband and granddaughter were wearing different colors and thought changing the photo to black and white would be better.

I chose this baby blue, yellow and grey scheme for my B&W  photo.
(then I made this kit for Krystle's kit game not realizing she was having a separate challenge with it, but am not entering in hers. so if that's considered combining and doesn't count that's OK.)  I love the page anyway!


love your background layering

This was a great challenge Barb!
I chose to print these photos in sepia to give them a feeling of a time long gone. We had a themed birthday party for my sister. Her family did civil war reenacting so her party was set in the time period.

I love your examples, and I love watching Maddie grow. She's a young lady now.

Here's mine, Barb, I really enjoyed this challenge!  This picture in color would most definitely not have worked with the color scheme I used, I'm so happy with how it turned out using a b&w photo.
