Now on with the hop!
I created a digital invite for a family reunion. I included a picture of the my great grandparents. I was so lucky enough to know them very well. My grandpa lived until his 90's and grandma lived more than 10 years without him and passed from pneumonia at 104. Actually, my son even got to meet her but he was just a baby. This was my mother's mother's parents. I never knew my grandmother she was their oldest child and passed before I was born. A couple of her siblings have passed in the last year or so and now there's only one of my mother's aunts left. She is about my mother's age, my great grandmother was still having children when her oldest (my grandmother) was having her own family.

My mother was the organizer of this event and most of the relatives are on Facebook so I created a FB cover photo version for the event page. I used the same paper and ribbon but had more room to add more embellishments.
Ingredients:
Creative Memories Reminisce Digital kit
Antique Attic font

That digital invitation is cool. I don't do much digitally, but I will look into it with our next family get-together since most of it is done by email and Facebook these days.
