Alicia,

Your layouts are very nice. I may scrap-lift some ideas.

Alicia, I love the surnames forming a border on the LO in Album 4. That fall picture is stunning! I love the way you captured all the seasons on that LO!

Album 5!! This is truly outstanding. Those are some of the best heritage LO's, I've seen. Not only because of the pictures and layout, which are wonderful, but also because of the story being told. I think your work will be appreciated by many in the years to come.

Thank you so much for sharing.

Those are realy great Alicia!

Your family must be thrilled!

Those are great Alicia! The names for a border is such a great idea. I love album #5. All the stories behind the pictures just help complete the album. Great heritage album there!

I loved looking at your heritage pages. The idea of scanning the letter for a page was great. Preserving not only the photos, but the history and stories from a family is indeed the purpose of scrapbooking. Thanks for sharing. Sandy

Thanks. Scraplift away!

Thanks. I used it in a later album, too, made for another of dad's siblings.

Mother Nature liked to "show off" her different outfits in that area. LOL

Thanks, Deb. I have such a bad memory for the family stories that I have to write them down. LOL

Thank you, Sandy. I'll scan anything that will fit on my scanner! LOL. There are a couple of dad's letters in #5. Anyone ever heard of "v-mail" from WW II? The soldiers would write on a full-size sheet of paper, then it would be scanned & shrunk down to 4 1/4" x 5" so they weighed less (& they were limited to writing on one side of one sheet of paper); the airplanes could carry more mail in fewer trips that way. Thought of posting a layout with one of those on it, but didn't. In my travel album I scanned various "ephemera" (tickets, programs, even money). In my most recent album, I have a scan of the back of the family violin (it has an unusual marquetry scene on the back). Couldn't fit the painting on the scanner (unfortunately) so used a digital shot of a painting of the old family farmhouse (which I faded so it didn't overpower the rest of the page) as the background for some of the pages. I need to rescan an old blanket (made by an ancestor) -- um, not the whole blanket! LOL -- to use as background on other pages.

So, while my digital albums don't have 3-D items in them like you traditional scrappers can have, I still manage to include them some way or other. LOL

If anyone's interested in learning more about v-mail, I just looked it up. Now I know "how'd they do that?!" LOL
