Hi Lorraine and group: I've just started on my family heritage scrapbook. I got a lot of ideas from the Internet, and here's how I decided to put my album together: I decided on a color scheme, dark navy for my mother's line, dark cranberry for my father's line. I started with myself, with baby picture, graduation picture, wedding, interests, pets and so on. These sections I used both the cranberry and navy and I used ivory cardstock to mat the photos. I didn't use original photos, I made copies instead. Then I followed my pedigree chart and started with me, my dad, my mom, my dad;s parents, then my mom's parents and so on. There are some family members I do not have pictures of, for instance, my gg grandfather, Daniel Clickner, who married my gg grandmother, Phoebe Ann Williams, so I haven't decided what to do about that. For each new generation, I put in a pedigree chart, and I used ivory resume paper for it & photo corners to put it on the page. That way you could slip out the pedigree chart to look at it more closely. For my heritage album, I'm not using any stickers or diecuts, but I use computer fonts for the journaling since my hand lettering is not legible. That would be a neat idea to have a photo postcard of a real Harvey House. It would add some "flavor" to it. I have pictures going back several generations, of which I'm lucky to have. I wish I had some of some ancestors that I don't have. I have a really good printer that prints out excellent copies of original photos, the only bad thing is, the pictures take a lot of ink. So somtimes I go down to Wal-Mart at their 1 hr photo and bring my CD full of pictures and get copies that way. Once I get my album done, it will be something special to hand down to the generations.
