SHCG: Oh, wow, oh, wow, oh, wow!! Love it! I got into scrapbooking because of heritage, too! Love what you did with all of the heritage photos and the title. GREAT photos!
SHCG: This is just FABULOUS. You have such great old photos and have used some many interesting embellishments and journaling snippets. How could anyone not see this and run over to get a closer look and the read the little details. LUV the doilie (at forst I thought it was a spider web). GREAT job on the sepia color scheme.
SHCG: This is really cool... I appreciate both the time it took to make this and the time it took to research for it! I love all the little details you've included; all the embellies are great. Your lo is very pretty, and I think you've added just the right amount of info to read to this piece.
shcg: wow your family must love this, what a beautiful tribute! how interesting histories are, what fun it will be for future generations to know this info. i think this is something that is lost in our "throw away" culture. any way the lo is beautiful and the framed piece is just inspirational.
SHCG: Wow, this is gorgeous! I definately get an "old timey" feeling from the Pp's. I love how you managed to put 5 generations on one 2 page layout. You also have managed to get a lot of information on one layout which is great. I love everything about this.
SHCG: DeAnna I bow to your family heritage-preserving self. This is absolutely fabulous! It is truly beautiful and extremely informative. Reading some of the previous comment, I wouldn't mind having your narrative included, but either have it hidden because I love this as it or perhaps in a separate frame written out in calligraphy perhaps. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing piece of history! Lovely!
SHCG: DeAnna, this is a gorgeous heritage spread, that definitely deserves to be framed and displayed. I've always wanted to try out heritage pages, mainly because I love that vintage look, and your work epitomizes all the elements I love in this type of work. I love the title work, the crocheted piece, the quote on the tag, the primary source pieces, and all the metal embellies, especially the hinges. I agree with Sharon on the journaling that documents the significance of your collection, and tucking it behind the hinged photo could be a great spot. I like the bookplate, too, but I expected to see a family fact when I zoomed in, only to find more of the pp it is mounted on. I'd like to see that bookplate utilized more purposefully, maybe with something like, "Clyde and Dora--Robert's parents." Finally, I wish I could see more of Dora's neck, so I'd push down that stamped piece about a centimeter so that its edge isn't touching her chin. I'm glad to see you're "getting back to your scrapping roots," DeAnna!
GRC~Whoa. I absolutely love the coloring on this. Everything matches to perfectly, and it's got such a strong heritage feel. I really love how you made it into a piece of art to hang on your wall. Just amazing.
SHCG - Wow, DeAnna, this is phenomenal! What rich history captured in such a visually-interesting way. LOVE the sepia tones, the bits of actual memorabilia, the quotes, textures, love it all. Now, the only thing I'm kind of desiring is the descriptive narrative in your description on this work, guiding the viewer through (after the 1900 pic w/ everyone nicely labeled, I get confused about who's who unless I read what you wrote here on sb.com). But this is already such an amazing piece as is! Thoughtful, beautiful, absolutely splendid work, DeAnna!
This went straight into my favorites I love every little piece of it, and of cause doing family history myself it has inspired me no end. tfs for sharing my friend. awesome
Wow! I would love to do something like this for my dh and for my family as well. Beautiful job tying it all together. It looks like something a professional was paid a whole lotta $$ to do. Awesome work!
Blessings,
Deb
5 generations of my husbands family, beginning with John Johnson and ending with DH :) John Johnson served in the confederate army and was a POW, The census report of 1960 shows him living in Walton Co. Georgia with his wife Mary. His son William moved from Georgia to Oklahoma and had 11 children. William's son Henry married Alma Esta Ellis and worked for the Rock Island Railroad. Upon his death the family home place was donated to the town of Pond Creek and is now the Johnson Park. Henry's son Clyde married Dora Lou Tullis and served in the military for 21 yrs and then the FAA for 20 years. Clyde's son Robert is my DH and the most wonderful husband on earth :) LOL!
To clear up, the bookplate is there to feature John Johnson & family on the 1880 census that is the paper behind it. just to frame his entry so to speak. and the stamped paper is actually a library card pocket but it is so hard to tell that.
