Many years ago I took the pictures I had of my Mother & Dad out of the magnetic photo album I had them in and put them in a shoe box. Of course no one looks at them stored in a box.
If you click on the picture you can see the pages in the full size.

At the Arizona Family History Association fall meeting one of the vendors a professional Genealogist had scrap booking pages mixed in between her pedigree charts and family group sheets. I liked the idea and decided to do the same.
Some of the old pictures I scanned and reprinted since they are so faded. I am writing what little stories I know about her on each page. I have also scanned the pack of the pictures and added that picture of the writing to the page.

I started with the early years and I am moving to her adult years.
Here the story is all on white paper but it was too stark for me and I reprinted it all on cream paper and swapped the paper out. OK, I know I am a little compulsive when it comes to things looking good together.
Mary, These pages are fabulous. I know they take a lot of time to put together. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteHi Mary, This is a wonderful idea. I'm starting by scanning each photo and inserting it into a MSWord document in which I type as much info as I can possibly remember about the person, the place, the time, etc. Someday I might get caught up enough to create beautiful pages like yours! Right now I just want to get the photos scanned and info down on paper. Thanks for the inspiration for the future!
