I have two black and white photos of my grandparents, both sets, and I have one that of my husband and I in color. I have a layout in mind that will look like this

My Past

photo of grandparents

and


[ i]Photo of My husband and I [/i]


My Future


I was just wondering if I should make my photo B & W or would it look okay in color?

just to unify everything.

I like the B&W idea too but I also think its ok to have you and your hubby in color because your theme is the future. KWIM?

I'd say black and white as well.
but I love black and white anyway.
sounds like a great idea, though!

I agree black & white- would make it easier matching papers and patterns too.

I vote for color if the picture of your husband and you looks better in color and goes with the papers you are using. I usually turn photos into b&w if there really isnt anything interesting colorwise going on. Or if the colors in the photo don't match my papers . Maybe print them out in each option and see how you like it ?

Whatever you do it will be great!

might make it a spread with the pics as they are and bring some unity to it in other ways?

I say to go with the color - going black and white would unify it, but i like the idea that you have the past in bw and the future in color - but it sounds like you might have already done it so - oh well - that was just my 2 cents
