We Are Family (Flora's Siblings)

My mom's siblings. For a Heritage album.

 

Unexpected Reunion

I wish I could thank my mom for saving so many photos, newspaper clippings, and other mementos.

They are really a treasure.

 

Louise and Robert Walker

My mom's older sister - the one she was closest to.

They were also the only ones from her family that I was close to.

 

Flora

These are the earliest photos I have of my mom; there are none from her childhood.

This is a page for a Heritage album for my daughter.

 

Family History

More about my maternal grandfather.

The two pages together:

 

Louis Kodrich

All about my grandfather on my mother's side, page 1 of 2.

 

Peeps and Jellies

Easter card and repurposed box for a young friend of mine.

And inside:

 

Documenting Life

The second page documenting my grandparent's immigration from Italy.

Two-page spread shown below.

 

Where It All Began

A page for a Heritage album highlighting the town in Italy that my grandparents came from.

 

Animal Adventure mini-album

Another mini-album made from one sheet of cardstock - these are really fun to do.

This one is for my grandson and highlights his 4-H animals (bunnies and cavies),

and their trips to 4-H exhibitions, shows, and fairs.

The pocket in the middle will hold a card listing the animals and events.

Do What You Love mini-album

I made this darling mini-album watching Meghann Andrew (Scrapbook and Cards Today)

on a Facebook Live. You make the base of the album using just one piece of cardstock and 

then decorate it however you choose. This will be for my granddaughter and will feature 

pictures of things that she loves - theater, travel, etc.

Create a ScrapRoom

It's not my style to put "all the things" on a layout,

but a page about my craft room was the perfect place!

lived before emigrating to the US.
