Meet Virgil and Ruth, The Buckle Man's grandparents. This card was the grand retro-fit of all time for me! I used the scraps from Hailey's card yesterday, and also used her inspiration piece seen here:
The Rust bg panels were run thru the CB and the acetate sheets adhered. I used a partial Top Note and put acetate over the photo as well. I love the dreamy look of new love in Grandma's eyes. Ruth is now in her 90's and is still beautiful. I think this card will take her back.
Thanks for looking!

What a perfect way to display vintage photos! You captured the flavor of their times here. I know the Buckle Dude is very proud of this one. Great job and thanks for the inspiration.
