Heritage

The whole reason I started scrapping in the first place was I had an idea to take some old family photos and use those in conjunction with a poem my aunt had written to create a family heritage album.  I love finding old photos and scrapping them.  This particular layout is a picture of my great great grandparents.  They lived in Norway.  I don't know a whole lot about them - yet.

I used the sketch from Swirlydoos Swirly Hues March challenge and most of the elements came from their March kit.  As part of the challenge you need to use a tutorial from their site and I actually used two.  One was a video tutorial on tissue paper flowers.  I had to make a couple of modifications as I didn't have all that was required.  I also used a tutorial on altering Petaloo flowers with Magical Micas (love that stuff) and glitter.
