Last week when I was looking through old family pictures, I found my parents’ wedding picture. They were married at my grandparents’ house in Seattle on December 9, 1950. I was able to find a copy of their marriage certificate online and so armed with that and the picture scanned into the computer, my project began! I created this 8″ x 10″ canvas:
Here’s a couple of close-ups:
Thank you for stopping by. I hope you’ll leave a comment and let me know what you think of my canvas. The theme over at Simon Says Stamp & Show is Show a Bit of Brown, so I’ll be entering it there, as well. I’ll also submit this to the Tuesday Treasures hop here.

I love it also..would love to have a copy of this picture or any others of there wedding as I dont have any..please..Wanda
Thank you!
Vic what a wonderful treasured memories keepsake you have created here. I love the idea of creating a canvas with old photos and all the texture and embellishments you have added creates a wonderful dimensional collage. The key is a very special touch. Your parents sure look as though they had a very special ceremony and day.
Thanks for sharing this at Tuesday Treasures, I am so pleased you gave me the opportunity to see it.

Hw beautiful, Vic! I love it. They look just like my parents when they were married (born in 1929, so probably just about that year too!) I love those flowers and the art part vines… this is fab!
