Scrapbook history

I have been working hard on catching up with holiday scrapbooking and now my attentions turn to my heritage album which is an on going project. I am collecting my family history information and family photographs. My goal was to get it nearly complete by November so that I could photograph the pages and make hardback books to give as Christmas presents to my family and I am beginning to think it might not happen.

Anyway after a rummage around in the box I found these bits and pieces...


 
I put them on a layout with some photographs of my granddad as they were all his belongings: a 5d stamp, his wartime ID card, medical card and his member badges from our local agricultural show.
 
I found some photos of him in various outfits.
 
 
They are not sepia toned, just really bad light conditions you get from photographing in the evening.
 

 
One more for the album. Hope you are having a great week whatever you are up to. Jo x

    That is so lovely Jo, and so nice of you to think to turn the finished pages into a book. Keep going, I'm sure that you will get there, it is just one of those projects that takes a little time! xx
