Hollywood Glamour

Today I designed a layout for our next Family Century session.




A combination of scrapbooking and family history, each month is a new decade, and this month we get to the 1950s.

As I wasn't around then, my vision of it is mostly through film. I love old black and white 'movies', especially the big romances like 'Strangers On A Train' and the big musicals like 'Singing In the Rain'.

This seems appropriate, as the 50s were the decade when my parents courted, married and started their family, so there was lots of glamour, romance and drama in their lives. So my layout is inspired by the golden age of Hollywood and particularly a Hollywood inspired dress that my mum is wearing in one of the pictures. Here is a sneak peak.
