How fun to look through my old elementary school photos! It brought back so many memories of childhood friends and one not so nice teacher LOL. So easy to make a beautiful page with Karen Schulz Designs " Vintage School Collection"

This is my entry for this month's Challenge No3 - heritage layout. The photos I have aren't great, but I was able to enhance them with Remini app. I spent quite some time trying to create a smooth and logical flow in my page to match the layout I created a while ago... , and finally decided to...

This is a photograph of my maternal grandfather and his 5 siblings. I only knew him and his two sisters, Rosetta and Adeline. Adeline was the baby and she lived to be 100 years old. My grandfather died in 1965 at the age of 65. The date on the layout is 1905. I used Karen Schulz My Story...

Alterations: I placed a sepia photo filter at 52% over the top of all the layers, and then finished by using a LUT Candlelight CUBE at 30%

I absolutely love the concept behind this new collection. Creating simple pages that tell our own stories. I think that's the part that too many scrappers like to skip and I think doing it is so important, so I love this new collection.

This is a follow on LO to Little Cowgirl Daydream - my mother's 1st cousins. I suspect this is the same day as the same house is in the background and my great aunt and grandmother did not live in similar houses. Again, so easy. Play with overlays, add photos and elements, then title and done.

The extraction is of my mother about 1940. In Southern California there were always pony rides. I think this may have been one that visited neighborhoods and took photos at your house because this looks suspiciously like my Grandma's house. This collection makes LOs so easy - just play with...

September Color Play at Oscraps I recently re-found this photo of my mom's family taken in 1944 that was lost on my hard drive. So happy I had the chance to scrap it using this incredible kit!

Journaling reads: Standing in the back is my Great Aunt Lula. Great Aunts Mary and Myrtle are seated with Great Grandma Whiteis in between. The only beautiful woman I have no recollection of from this photo is Great Grandma Whiteis. She is the mother of these three Great Aunts. We used to visit...

Journaling reads: I can remember spending the night with Aunt Mary and Uncle Forrest Grist. I slept in a huge bed that I used a step stool to climb into. Aunt Mary was always busy. Uncle Forrest always walked with his hands clasped together behind his back. I loved to visit them. Uncle Forrest...

Journaling reads: Christmas 1956 - I am sitting on my Great Grandma Whiteis’ lap at Aunt Mary’s house. Aunt Mary was my Grandpa Brandenburg’s sister. Great Grandma Whiteis married James W. Brandenburg in 1880. They had 11 children, the youngest one being born in 1901, which was William, my...

Created with Palvinka Designs Book of Memories. It's so beautiful and perfect for documenting this picture of my mom's senior picture.

Journaling reads: Dad was stationed in California during his time in the Army. That is how we ended up going to California on vacation in 1964. He always talked about liking his time out there. I don’t know where this picture was taken or when. I know he graduated and turned 18 on 10/31/46. But...

This page took me a couple of weeks to finish - mostly because I needed to restore the photos and decide how I wanted to tell the story. The list of credits for this page is insane and totally out of character for me - but I wanted every element and every word strip to mean something and...
