About Me
I'm not really a "traditional" scrapper - I am currently only scrapping my family history, all 1200 years of it! Images of distant ancestors are hard to come by, so when I can't find usable images (be it a photo of a modern statue, a contemporary painting of the subject or even a tapestry), then I try to use ephemeral images - coins, maps, pictures of Viking swords, etc. My aim is to turn my 50 page family history essay (written in 2012) into a visual book which combines genealogy with history because as I found out while writing my essay, the two are inexplicably linked - you can't understand a persons life story without understanding the battles they fought, the politics of the time and even the geography of 11th century Europe.
Type of Project
Digital Scrapbook LayoutDescription
This is my first foray into digiscrapping my entire family history (all 1200 years of it!) It turns out scrapping so much written information is a real challenge! The biggest difficulty has been including all the necessary info while still creating what I hope is a cohesive, clear and visually interesting page.

This is stunning!
Love the layout. Great idea scrapbooking family history. This page looks great!
You are so lucky to have all of this history available to you. I can visualise a fantastic printed record at the end. It's so important to get all the details on the page so keep up the challenge!
Nice! I really like this style. I too have a bunch of genealogical stuff that I'd like to scrap. As you say in your profile, it's not always easy to find image of ancestors, and the further back you go the harder it gets. You did a lovely job on this one!
Beautiful job!
