Studio Lorie has a way with words, whether it is the magical descriptions for her delightful kits or the everyday answers to life, she, for me always manages to put things in a perspective that very few can.  Studio Lorie's kit names, immediately create an image in your mind.  Her latest "Under the Dappled Shadows" causes me to feel like I should mix a pitcher of iced tea and throw on the nearest set of drapes in an oh so Scarlett O'Hara moment. An extraction from the description of Under … [Read more...]

A Great Heritage Layout

Old_and_Familiar_web_

One of the first items in a great heritage digital scrapbook layout is the story and journaling.  Sometimes information about the antique or vintage photos can be hard to come by.  One trick is to plump up your journaling with facts about the era the photo was taken in.  If it is a photo of a relative in the 1940's you could add a couple of paragraphs about the depression era.  If you have a really old photo from the 1800's it would be really cool to research what items cost or what your … [Read more...]
