Heritage Scrapbooking

As you know, I've been doing a few heritage scrapbooking projects. (You can find details HERE and HERE and HERE). Today I wanted to share with you a two page spread I created with a wallet size photo of my great grandma. I may have gotten a little carried away with the Thickers on this layout but I think I got my point across. ;)

I wanted this layout to emphasize vast amount of quilts that my great grandma made. She made hundreds of quilts for dozens of family members and friends.

I added a lot of hand journaling on the right side of the two page spread as well as a few more Thickers to balance out the huge amount of Thickers that I added on the layout on the left side.

I love how this layout turned out and I think that when my family looks at this layout they will remember exactly how much my great grandma quilted.

Even though this photo my not qualify as a heritage photo because it's not that old (it was taken circa 2000). I think it is relevant to heritage scrapbooking because it tells a story that dates back several years.

Have you done any heritage scrapbooking lately? Where do you find inspiration for your heritage scrapbooking?

Let's Talk Tuesday: Using ALL of Your Letter Stickers

Let's Talk Tuesday: What to Pack When Creating on the Go

Today we're talking about using up all of those letter stickers. I have piles and piles of letter stickers that are collecting dust. I don't use them anymore because most of the letters are gone. All I have left is a bunch of Q's, Y's, Z's and J's.
I decided to see if I could make a dent in all those left over stickers. I created 2 layouts.
The first layout I created I created a fun busy border around the entire layout.

I made a big dent in my stash but I still had a few packages of white Thickers that I wanted to put to good use. I used only white and pink letter stickers on this project. I love the impact of the pink letters mixed in with all the white.

 This layout is one that I created a while ago. Long titles are another way to use some of those letter stickers. This layout features a really long title. (This is a great way to feature one of your favorite quotes too.)

Here's another way to use those letter stickers:

Do you have piles and piles of letter stickers that you just can't throw away but that you're not using either? Dust them off and put them to good use, I know you can do it!
