Family History Blog HOp

Welcome to the Exploring Family History blog hop. We are creating crafts related to our family history. Most of us would agree when began paper crafting to create a historical record of our and for our families. Of course, we love to get inky and sticky while doing it so let's dig into our crafty family history projects.

I used a picture of my sister and I having Afternoon Tea on our recent long, long trip to Michigan to visit family. I have more pictures to add in the future, I think that I am still recovering from that long, long trip. For the page opposite the picture of us, I printed out the lyrics to the song, "Sisters" from, "White Christmas".

 

For the cover I used watercolor paper, I used watercolor paint to color the background then I used a background stamp on top of the paint, added some washi tape, title and a couple of stick pins.

 

After I cut all of my pages I used my Cinch to punch the holes and bind them all together, added some jewels and ribbons.
