    Oh Astrid this is sooo beautiful! So much blending to achieve the rustic look going back in time! Love some of those papers and that wonderful rusted
    heart - oh to have a little stash of these. I have some wooden ones which I dyed brown and look OK.
    All in all beautiful work. I really can see you in your mother's images!
    You always make it look so easy!

    I went there, and saw your album and fell in love. Your album is gorgeous and I do appreciate you sharing some of the tricks of your trade. I love your pictures and your description of each lady. They have passed on some pretty remarkable genes and memories to you Astrid.
