Heritage photo layouts

[Netleigh]

I want to do a lot of my heritage photos as digi layouts. Seeking sources of inspiration. Can anyone show me some layouts you have done?

[Lynn Grieveson]

I have a few ....

[readstoomuch]

Here are a few of mine too . . .









There are just so many wonderful layouts from the fabulous ladies who post here . . . I know that you will love joining in with your heritage pages. I haven't done one in quiet awhile, and need to get back to doing them!

Welcome to Designer Digitals . . . I know that you will find this a very welcoming site and fun too!

Mollie and Lynn, those are great! I have shoeboxes full of about 500 photos from my grandmother & dad, ranging from 1890-1950, that I scanned when I did 2 paper books for my dad a few years ago. I've been thinking about getting them in digital LOs, but had absolutely no idea where to start. Your LOs are beautiful and very inspirational!

Here is a link to a book of my sister & I growing up.

Stunning book Kayleigh. Your sister must have been thrilled

(although, I have to say, that feels like just yesterday to me)

[Kayleigh]

lol Lynn - I guess I think of it as 'heritage' since it's from my childhood even though I was born in 1981. My sister & parents were thrilled - I got them each to cry

wow. there are some really gorgeous pages listed here. very inspirational! I wish there was a gallery just for heritage pages!
thanks for posting

[KerryMac]

I created old family pages for the family album I made mum last Christmas. Here's a couple of examples.

You can't go wrong checking out the galleries of Lynn, Molly, Merr and Carol. I admire all their marvelous pages!
Here are a couple of mine. Sometimes I do two-pagers.

[Netleigh]

Thank you all, wonderful pages and gives me loads of inspiration and some ideas of which digi papers and kits you are using.
I have been browsing through the shop and have made a quite extensive wish list. I want to have a 'restricted' set of materials to give a sense of continuity through the album so will be trimming the wish list down.
It's really good to see what you have done with the kits. I will have to have a good look round your galleries.

My mother-in-law will be 98 in September--and even though she's smoked more than a pack of cigarettes everyday for the past 82 years, she's still in great health. And she has neat little photo albums that go back to 1911! I LOVE working with her photos!

Here is one of mine I love...especially since I discovered that the original psd file was damaged and cannot be accessed!!

I like the idea of a separate gallery for heritage pages. Maybe after the transfer to the new server Randy would consider it.

[KerryMac]

Patricia, that layout is in my faves. The first time I saw it, it brought tears to my eyes and it did again today.
It's really such a lovely tribute to your parents' love for one another.

[cheska99]

Patricia, What a layout! What a story! Superb job.

Just loving all these pages... it makes me want to start my heritage project back up again! Thanks everyone =)

I go on vintage binges occasionally when I just want to scrap heritage photos. Here's an example and some links:

I'd love some opinions about this draft of a section page for my heritage album.
I'm not very experienced digitally yet but think I could soften or change the edges of the photo and mount. not sure if I will be doing a little journalling in the bottom or if I will leave each section with just the name and years.
I think I'll be doing a single sheet for each person I have loads of images of then do some layouts with multiple images, history and stories. I'm still trying to plan out how I want it to progress.
Trying to attach image here, first try failed!

[Netleigh]

Instead I managed to post twice.
Opinions for additions and improvements please
Tried to include an image but failed, trying a link. Will anyone tell me how to put in an image, or direct me to a post for newbies?

On the Designer Digitals Forum page there is a thread called "How To and Quick Tips."

This thread addresses how to add an image into a message:

So glad you started this thread, Netleigh. I love seeing the heritage pages people are sharing here.

Your page is looking very elegant and polished. TFS!

Thanks for the link Digigrandma, here's the image.
I'll get onto a few more descriptive layouts with the other photos I have of him.
