My first addiction - researching my family history - which lead to my next addiction - scrapbooking so I could display my research - which lead to my next ... and newest addiction - SU to further enhance my pages! I hope you enjoy these glimpses of my ancestors and TFL.

Stunning photos of the past!! Wonderful use of prima flowers!! Those old photos never should never be cut and tucking them into a frame like that is a perfect way of displaying them! tfs

This is wonderful! I have recently been given boxes full of old photos of my ancestors and since my mother is a genealogist, she has provided so much information to go along with them. This is why I am so anxious to start scrapping, yet I just have not known how to begin. I so hope you do not mind if I pretty much copy your awesome pages; they will be a perfect beginning for me! And can you believe in my SU order that is in picking right now is the square steps punch?! I just can't wait to get it now! Thanks for sharing a job well done. I love that this tells a story and shows photos so nicely without detracting from what is being displayed. Your embellishments are nice accents that enhance and don't overpower.I am also a fan of personal handwriting, and think that adds to the value for generations to come.I am sure your family will cherish these. Super job! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Both of your grandparent scrapbook pages are gorgeous. Love the colors....very soft. You did a wonderful job on the details, layout, matting, etc, and the writing done in white is awesome! GREAT job!
