Memories of Love
I’ve had this idea rolling around for a couple of weeks…to make a heart out of pictures of couples.
My first thought was to use all vintage pictures…both relatives and unknowns. I quickly switched to ‘knowns’. I love anything that celebrates love and marriage and COMMITMENT! I am blessed that I have had that word ‘commitment‘ modeled within my family.
Each couple represented {all related except for one} has an understanding of what that word really means.
I was hoping to include more pictures of my ‘greats’ and some more of Mr T’s family but I knew if I didn’t just work with what I had it wouldn’t get done. It was a bit of work as it is.
I had an old window that I wanted to put them behind {thus the difficulty with photographing} so I worked with that measurement and came up with a size {2.188 x 3.5} that each picture needed to be. It took 52 pictures. I cheated a little and used vintage Valentines for two spots.
I love going through our old photos. I have this chronic smile on my face as I slip through each memory. This is the ‘earliest’ photo I have of Mr T and I.
We were sitting on a dock on Lake Washington which overlooked Seattle.
i still have that sweatshirt
VERY NICE! I REALLY LIKE IT. I see we are in there several times, and yes, we are very committed to love, to each other and to our marriage. Love you, sweet daughter.
How beautiful, fun & inspiring!
Commitment ~ what a beautiful word!
Thanks for sharing!
I was thinking that the sweet little footprint (ultrasound) would fit perfectly!
There will be footprints on the heart! 🙂
You are so very inspiring! I loved your heart shaped collage, especially the stories behind them all.
Girl you are so FULLLLL of creative ideas! My mom was just telling me of all the vintage pics she has – you are giving me ideas!!!! Thanks Elaine!!!

I love it, cute… is it between two pieces of glass.
No, Pat, I just put it behind an old window that I had. Thanks!
