When I taught heritage classes, I shared some of this information with my students. These classes taught me a lot that has helped me in scrapbooking. In high school, many moons ago, I was involved in two journalism classes - newspaper and year book. I learned a lot doing this layout and ended up re-doing some of it after I learned that it is best to keep important elements 1/2" away from the edge for printing purposes. The tag comes from another kit, but I can't recall the name.
I used Verena Karolyi's Tenderness kit, which I loved for the purple and green but also the flower elements. The journaling with further information will be on the right side. I had a lot of fun doing this layout, which is the left side of a two page spread. As a child I thought it was odd that my great grandmother was only ten months older than my Grandma Hopkins. This layout is a baby picture of my Great Grandma Beatrice Estelle Smith who was born in Carp Lake, Emmett County, Michigan in 1905. That is probably why I enjoyed all the hours I spent with my two grandmothers. But still I longed for a time and place where I would have fit in more. It was tough and I love my modern conveniences, like this computer I'm pecking away at. I don't have any romantic ideas about the "olden days". I felt like Tasha Tudor - that I was born in the wrong century. From the time I was a little girl, I have loved to hear stories about the "olden days" and began researching my family history when I was 14 years old. To those who know me, or are getting to know me :o), it will be no big surprise that my favorite type of scrapbooking is heritage.
