Here is another layout from Silvia Romeo's Masterpieces Add On kit. I added paper backing the photo, blue button and had pin from from Jean Daughterty's Brocade and Lace kit, tag from Silvia's The Garden kit, and tassels from Silvia's Serendipity kit. Sometimes you have to go searching for just the right piece to complete the look! The young woman standing on the right is my Great, Great Grandma and the folks seated are my Great, Great, Great Grandparents who came from Prussian Germany to Wisconsin and then settled in western Michigan.

I used the A Few Of My Favorite Things kits from Sarah Meyers at Digitalscrapbookpages.com. This picture was such an exciting find from a cousin in Michigan that I met while doing research online. I had never seen my Great, Great Grandmother, who is standing in the back on the right. I love the color and pattern on these background pages and the letters are just beautiful and fitting for a lot of heritage projects.
