Lilach, this is wonderful! I love the blocked look the template makes and all the wonderful layering. I'm a paper and ephemera junkie, so this one grabbed my heart!

This Lo is a little nore conplex but not complicated. Begin with paper 18 blended over Artful Expressions 04 paper 8 in multiply mode. Arrange graphics was you want them then experiment with paint, overlays, stamps, etc on the background. All the lyrics and word art.

Journaling reads: My Mother was SO CUTE when she was tiny! These photos show her from about 6 months of age to around 3 years old. Judging by the looks the camera captured, she was quite the character. I might even say there was a wee bit o’ the devil in her. Methinks “Mischief” was her name...

Outstanding advice, Eva! It's a bitter pill to swallow if you've added all of someone else's research to your olny to have to remove it! It's easier on paper, but not by much, than in a computer program. Keep them separate until you've followed Eva's wise advice and checked them yourself!

Now, that would be one family tree filled with fantasy!

What do you wish you knew when you first started out? Or what piece of advice would you give yourself if you were new to family history/genealogy - family history is generally more geared to the hobbyist (who is encouraged to use genealogical standards and methods, but not required to do so)...

Jean! Kudos for working on the 1950! That's really admirable!

Wow! I remember doing this thread but must not have posted it. I have some new goodies to post soon. What about you?

What a great story, Claire! It's so fun to discover things like this and it really opens up mew research avenues - and new family!

Welcome! I'm so glad to meet you and hope you make this your digi home. The O is a great family to belong to.

It's always a great time to join the family, but especially during a celebrations! Welcome!

This collection is so charming! It made me think of these photos I've been collecting of things I'd like to have in my garden - or things I'd just like to have in my collection! This LO is VERY straight forward. I started by placing the hotos I wnated then experimented for the background...

I haven't had mine done yet. I keep hoping my brother will spring for the entire set - autosomal, yDna and mtDna. The last 2 would cover all the bases for us getting both the male and female line. But Skip's mtDNA is not the same as his son's (who gets his mother's mtDNA) but his Y would bust...

Hmmm, my specialty is Cherokee research. There is likely a kernel of truth there. Why don't you tell us about your grandfather. Can you get me back to the 1930 census with that line? I have copies of all the rolls and much more. When we lived in Oklahoma I was in Tahlequah, the Cherokee...

This LO turned out to be a real challenge! I started with paper #8 blended over paper #5 in Hard Light mode. Then I placed painted algae 05, journal prompt overlays 1, 2, 4 and two copies of stamp 02 between the two along with the image of the Hippocampus - that funny clawed seahorse and his...

Wow! Thank so much @foxeysquirrel !

Thanks so much!

Me and my brother, too. And it's rubbed off on my youngest. He went on an exchange to JAPAN when he was between 8th and 9th grade - just 14. Justin prefers not to move but is anxious to leave here. It's an ADHD thing for him.

Oh my - how amazing is that? If that name tracks back to early VA we have a match!

Ohm Trudy! Thanks so much! This Lo was so fun and this is the icing on the cake!
