October is Family History Month. We thought we’d kick off this month’s reveals over at E-Scape and Scrap with a reveal about preserving our family history on scrapbook pages. This month is an excuse to dust off those old photographs and take another look at the stories behind them. Take some time to capture the history behind your family; it’s something you won’t regret doing.
This project also motivated me to scan in some more of those old family photos. That project has been on hold for a while and there are still plenty of pictures to scan. I would love to dive back into my genealogy research, but that is limited for now until I can renew my membership with Ancestry.com.
Both of my layouts for this month's reveal used Scrapdragon Designs new Family Roots kit.
For my first layout in this reveal, I presented some of the surprising information we've learned about great-grandmother Catherine and Catherine’s siblings. We're lucky enough to have pictures of most of the children together and the openings in this newspaper template included in Scrapdragon Designs’ new Family Roots kit allowed me to incorporate the pictures and journaling both into the design of the page.
The team did a fantastic job on their layouts as well - check them out here.
