Elegance

What an amazing trove of treasures your parents found! I would love to find something like that. I love the photo you choose. The element placement around the photo is just so great!

What a gorgeous layout you have created, dear Jill! The dress in the photo is stunning, and it is quite nice that the model's hair is also dark brown, to match the furnishings and create a nice triangle of reference. I also think it's interesting that the strip of newsprint is in the German language. The lace is very lovely, and I like the warm peach tones of the ribbons and flowers, also visible in the falling petals and dragonfly wings. Great title font and excellent journaling, too. Very nicely done!
