About Me
New to Digital Scrapbooking, just started in 2019, want to make a record of family stories before my mother passes away. My dad died in 2016. I currently live in Canada but was born and raised in New Zealand, and emigrated to Canada upon marrying my Canadian spouse. Home Country - lets see - New Zealand or Canada? Which to choose? Most of my photos will be from NZ, but any pics of my son will be from Canada. MY IP Address will say that I am in Canada which is fine. My mother and sister are still back in NZ so I will make my home country as NZ for now. For Facebook, I dont check it every day - I am not addicted to FB, and I use a different name for privacy. My image is myself as a child - aged about 2 or 3 years old

One of my favourite historical era's is the Roaring Twenties.
The 1920s, between the depressing World War 1 and the Spanish Flu Pandemic which ended in 1920, and the huge economical crash and start of the Great Depression in 1929. This was the the decade of the Flapper Girl fashion.
And perhaps the most iconic flapper girl to ever be photographed was Louise Brooks. She was just a girl from Kansas who dreamed of being in the movies. She moved to NYC, and became a dancer. She was soon spotted and signed to a movie studio contract but only did small roles. Her biggest roles were in movies made in London and Germany. At the height of her career, she stepped back from Hollywood and moved back to Kansas where she became an author. I will leave more links FYI down below.
I made this for another Bingo Page in Sept 2020. I just love how you can get a variety of pages with such a small grid. This one is the 3rd Horizontal Line Down with the following instructions. Red, B&W photos, Polka dots, Vertical, Alphas

Such a cool look, Robynne, great take.
Nice layout! I love Louise Brooks and have collected many digital images of her. You inspire me to actually do something with them. And thank you for the links to the biographical info.
