A Tug of My Heart

I gotta plug Annas ArtsyKardz , and Chris and Ambers tutorial (see Annas blog). Until I read the fine print I didnt realize that Anna made them as both jpg and psd files, you can work with the individual layers to manipulate the way you want on the psd, or just simply use the jpg to it as a card. SOOOO COOL!!! and so versatile

Journaling reads: I am guessing these photos were taken in the late 30s. Cristina and Nicholas shown here with son Anthony, and Cristinas sisters Meg and Annie, brother Chip, and brother-in-law James.

Photographs of my father and his family. I have been looking through all the photos I have, and trying to identify each face. Although I fear I might be wrong in some cases, I have come to realize that it doesnt matter if I am wrong in who is who, because I would love these people just as much. What I came to realize is that in just knowing they are family, there is a definite tug of my heart something that says I came from these people, and makes me proud to gaze at their photos. Family is so wonderful - giving me a feeling of belonging.

Cristina was first born, and Meg was her youngest sister, 22 years younger, so her siblings were close in age to her own children.

***thanks for looking***
Beautiful Joanie! Isn't it a funny feeling knowing that you sort of belong to these strangers ? I get that too.
 
You have such a singular style, Joanie. I love how I can always tell it's your page before I even look at the credit line. Wonderful, memorable heritage work. Beautiful page!
 
Joanie, the individual blended photos present a unique look at the parts of the whole! Wonderful thoughts about family recorded in your journaling! Gorgeous clusters of elements--they look so natural!
 
Wonderful layout. Love the precious individual blended photo's and the font you've used to name them.
And those ArtsyKardz are genious, don't you think? I've discovered them too!!
