On the Graphic 45 blog today you'll find a bazillion photos of this album (along with a gorgeous Sweet Sentiments album by the oh so talented Maria Cole).
As I have mentioned a few times, scrapbook layouts are not my forte. When Graphic 45 charged me with creating an easel album using Couture for CHA, I was daunted. I won't bore you with how many
Going through my collection of old photos I found a slew that I knew would fit perfectly with the Couture collection. Fine ladies in lovely hats and period garb. I imagine these gals would have been rather feisty and a lot of fun. Like mythical aunties.
And because not all of us are lucky enough to have such aunties in our family tree, I put together a couple of collage sheets with the photographs I used. If you need a few old gals for your own layouts, the Fancy Aunties collage sheets available at Alpha Stamps.
Here's a few more photos from the Couture album.

| Great Aunty Sybil was certain Georgina lost her wedding ring leaping from rock to rock across this stream. |

| Grandmother rose bush bore beautiful blooms and fiendishly mean thorns that longed to prick. |

| Always a model of style and civility, Auntie June was the subject of much envy and gossip. |

| Josephine confided in me that she longed for a scandalous coat of crimson. |
Thank heavens for the entire Couture line of flowers, tags and banners. They certainly made the task a fair bit more pleasant. Want to see more? Hop on over to the Graphic 45 blog
