For the Heritage Challenge

Journaling reads: When George and Annie Winter Todd and their five oldest children left Lincolnshire for the United States it must have been bittersweet. Annie was surely elated that she would soon see her parents and 9 of her 10 living siblings. For George, I’m sure the excitement was tempered...

This is my great grand Annie Winter and her husband George Todd around 1895. See the companion page for some of their story. For the challenge, I used the center horizontal line - text overlay, photo, flowers. I used no special techniques in this LO. I simply started with the background...

NOVEMBER CHALLENGE #7 WORD ART
