This page shows the before and after of 2 old photos of my Great Grandparents and what can be done with the right product, whether it is the paper, stickers or some other type of embellishments.  You always want to make sure to use photo safe, acid free and lignin free products so as to protect the longevity of your photographs whether they are old or new.  If you have any questions as to what you need to do for your really old pictures, please don't hesitate to call and I will try to answer your questions.

I am using black pages to do my Heritage pages on, as I think the color goes better with the colors in the really old photographs.  You can use printed paper, a solid color paper or just mount the pictures on the album page.  On this particular page, I used a sheet of paper from K & Company that I think goes well with my Heritage theme.  I cropped the photos and matted them with paper that blends in with the colors in the paper.  Make sure you use the right type of mounting tape and paper.  The stickers I used are from Creative Memories, Rebecca Sower and Paper Adventures - all Heritage type stickers and archival quality.  Once everything is placed where I want it, I then do the journaling with an archival safe pen.   Once done, I place a photo safe page protector over the page and put it into my Heritage album.
