Recently
I spoke to a gentleman who is a professional genealogist;
he helps people research their family tree and learn about
their heritage. He shared with me bits and pieces of the
questions he encourages people to ask their living relatives,
especially parents and grandparents.
The basics - Where did you live? Where did you go to school?
What did you choose as a profession? – are important
but so are the questions, How did you know you were in love?
Where was your favorite place to hang out as a teenager?
What did you think your biggest disappointment was, and did
your perspective change over time? What did you buy with
your first paycheck? What made you mad?
When I was thinking of our conversation later, I couldn’t
help but relate it to scrapbooking. I was reminded that our
scrapbooks really are a record of our lives for future generations.
And hopefully we are recording the basics such as where we
lived, went to school and worked, but we are also recording
our loves, likes, accomplishments and frustrations. All of
these things together make us who we are.
While I may need help to find out about my roots and my
heritage, I hope the scrapbooking I am doing now will save
my posterity from having to get someone to help them find
out about me.

Creative Corner: Embellishing Card Delights |
|
Card Delights printable
cards are a great way to get cards with a handmade look right
from your computer. But that doesn’t mean you can’t
add personal touches to the cards. Following are three different
cards to which I added simple accents to enhance the handmade
look.
|
|
The Happy
Father’s
Day Baseball Players Card features two real buttons, one in
the lower left corner placed directly over an image of a button,
and one in the upper right corner to tie in the look. I threaded
the buttons with thin jute to add to the rustic look of the
card.
|
|
To the Wedding
Day Wishes Card,
I added a wedding cake charm, tied with sheer white ribbon.
The small charm is a simple way to enhance an already elegant
look.
|
|
| On the Bright
Spring Blank Card,
my changes were more significant but still simple, relying
on the Card Delights art for the overall look. I trimmed the
card front, designed to be a 4x4 square, and adhered it to
a contrasting cardstock color, cut to approximately 4 ½ x10
and folded in half. I then added pink brads to accent the flower
centers. I printed the circle daisy embellishment and “Congratulations” message
line from the Card Delights pdf file, trimmed and attached
them to the bottom of the card. |

Embellishing Card Delights can be as simple or complex as you want,
limited only by your creativity.

Katherine
L. of Lehi, UT, shared with us a creative way to enhance
a costume. Thanks, Katherine!
“My daughter had an oral report on Sally Ride, and
she could earn points for wearing a costume.
"We printed some graphics (found online) onto the white
cotton sticker paper, and stuck them to an ordinary
shirt to turn it into Sally Ride's uniform.
"It turned out great, and they look and feel like patches!”
