I wanted to share this freebie with you, I hope you like it!!I scanned the spiderweb cover of my MIL's old album, and I used it for one of my layouts "Abanicos & Peinetas".

Here's a layout I created for the DSP weekly Heritage challenge a few weeks ago. The theme was "Fashion"."Abanicos & Peinetas""This is a photo of my very handsome grandfather during a party. The girls were wearing peinetones and abanicos. The boys look very formal with their suits. I really don’t know how old my grandfather was in this photo, but He was born in 1910, so I guess this party took
