I was going through a file cabinet trying to purge old files when I found an Olan Mills envelope that had proofs from some photos my husband and I had done when we had only been married a few years. There was no date on the envelope, so I looked through my scrapbooks and couldn't find that I had ever scrapped these photos, possibly because I didn't love how they looked at the time. With the passage of years, I look much more kindly on how my hubby and I looked in the photos, so I made a guess based on my hairstyle and my hubby's lack of a beard in order to figure out where these photos fit and decided to go with fall of 1996.

I agree, Cheryl, these are very lovely photos! We are always terrible critics of ourselves when it comes to photos. The good thing is that you kept them and it must have been fun coming across them! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
A fun layout and a great take on the sketch!
Thank you for joining our challenge at Love Those Pretty Papers!
