New Layout and a Cheater :)

Here is the earliest photo  I have  of my Dad. 

I had already scanned it so I can't count it towards my total but it done and scrapped!
Here is the next page in my book...
I am going to have to rearrange pages because I have a photo of my grandparents that needs to be done soon.

I am hoping to have a freebie for you on Monday, and news on how to get the parts of my Heritage kit as I post them.

Mom & Dad (Before Children) Page 1

Annie's layout is finished. I am quite happy with it too, so I think it is "really" finished. Here is the layout minus the journaling, ahhh and I remembered to save the layers!




Here is a look at what I have for my heritage kit so far...


I have a few things to do before I can get back to more photoshop time!
Happy Scanning!

Meet Annie

I think this is the oldest photo that I have. It is my Great Grandmother, Annie. My Dad always referred to her as "MamMams". Her parents immigrated to this country as a young married couple.

I think I should be sure to save a PSD file of Annie's layout. That way if I find out more before the book is printed I will be able to change it.
I also think I will look around for a "family tree" template or create one of my own.
So much to think about but I am getting really excited about this project. I am going to try to enhance the photo a bit and get the layout started. I know just what I am going to use to "scrap Annie"

Mothers Day Freebie for You!

Wow, things have changed in the last few months. I am no longer designing for a store and although I will miss that alot I am looking forward to having some time to do other things...Like scrap for myself, LOL
I plan on getting around to some "house keeping" chores like organizing my computer files and getting rid of stuff I know I will never use and backing up more of my files (I am so guilty of not keeping current on that...) and working on this blog :)


I also have to admit that at my age, if I don't start scanning the boxes and boxes of photographs under the bed, I might not live long enough to get them done!!! Hopefully I can keep to my goal to work somewhat chronologically... Scanning is my least favorite thing to do.
I suffer from "Acute Multiple Media Overload" photos, slides, negatives from all kinds of cameras...the big ones from my parents Brownie...remember the ones that came on a tiny round disc??? Kodak Advantax :) the negatives are in the little cartridges? Not to mention movies of all sorts from the 1950' til now???? "((Heavy Sigh))" Where to start LOL! Breaking things into "do-able" piles and just digging in! I guess I will see how it goes! Meanwhile I have a little Mothers Day Gift for you...its created with my "Eternal Spring" kit...
I did this layout of My Mom,

I scanned and fixed another photo of my Mom...here she is on the steps of a Baltimore Row house.
