This ATC was made for the Created Byhand black and white challenge for Tuesday.
The image on the ATC was from my Grandparents wedding picture ( I just cut out and changed the background) .
The picture was taken sometime between 1914 - 1918 in the Netherlands. They immigrated to Canada about 1925 with 3 children. The youngest at the time was my father aged 2 years. The buckles on my grandfathers belt are made of solid hammered silver and on my grandmothers lace headpiece at the very front (only the left one is really visable) are what they called butterflies (I believe) which are of hammered gold. They went on to have 7 more children (10 in all) after they came to Canada. The first one was a girl followed by 8 boys and the last being another girl. That is just a bit of my ancestry to share with you.
