My latest project is scrapbooking family photos. I have spent the summer scanning over 300 old
photos from the Ryan side of the family.
Now I would like to get them into scrapbooks before I forget who the
people are! Some of the photos are
already labeled unknown. There are so
many fabulous paper collections to scrapbook heritage photos I have a hard time
choosing. I am starting with one of my
favorites Bo Bunny.
I’m using the Timepiece line and adapting a layout I saw at Scrapbooks Plus. This layout is from my uncle's Confirmation in 1940. The last photo is one of my favorites because it has my father peeking out the doorway and getting into the picture!
I used the same paper to make the epoxy
embellishments and the flowers. All of the flowers
were cut using the Art Philosophy Cricut/ Close
to My Heart cartridge. Kathy is my
sister's and my favorite Close to My Heart consultant and she is the one who
taught us how to make the beautiful flowers. When they are cut out the flowers look like a flat spiral. then you roll then and glue then together as you go.

Other embellishments include these adorable chipboard keys from the"Color Me Crazy" line by Petaloo. I used Glimmer Mist to add the color and the metallic look to them. A little off white lace on the top and bottom of the pages added the old time look.
What a wonderful task you are undertaking! My SIL did this for my husbands side of the family and they all love it. Whoever wanted a copy of the album paid for her to copy, laminate and then spiral bind each album. They are such a treasure to my husband. I just got a ton of photos from my mom's side of the family and I have thought about doing something like this too! Wish me luck!!!
