Crafty Greetings! I had been thinking for a
while about what I wanted to post and was not coming up with anything that
grabbed me. Then, unfortunately, my
wonderful Aunt Carol passed away... and the two days I spent with my amazing
family celebrating her life helped me recall a family tree layout I did a while ago. The light bulb lit up and voila… a blog post
was born. : )
I have a large family and at one of our annual family
reunions I took a lot of great photos of everyone. It inspired me to come up with a way to
include the photos with a family tree in a two page scrapbook layout. Here's how I did it:
I made a title page and unintentionally used a “symbolic” tree
photo. : )
The right side of the layout has multiple parts. I cut two pieces of green cardstock to 7x12in
and arranged my photos on them in a grid
format. Note: Before laying out photos, score and fold a one inch "hinge" down the long side of each piece that you will adhere to the back of the base.
On the flip side of each hinged piece are the names of those in the photos. I printed the names and punched them out with a square punch.
The
center of the base is where I added our family tree. I typed the names of each family and trimmed them out
into strips. Used embroidery floss for
each family as the “branches” connecting them to my grandparents.
This
layout is just one idea! I hope that it
provides a jumping off point for your own family tree project. One thing to keep in mind when you make your
family tree is to allow extra space for any future additions. : )
Wonderful Tracey! 😃 A great way to focus on family members.
