Family Gathering is my portion of the August 2012 Designer Collaboration Kit. Traditionally for Heritage Scrap's birthday month, our collaboration in heritage/genealogy themed. This year our theme is the family gathering and I have interpreted that as family reunion. I love family reunions - it's the one time when people are usually interested in all the hard work I have done on the family research!
Papers Preview - I chose to keep the papers pretty simple. The reason is because reunion pictures are often full of lots of detail - groups of people, various activities and so on. Busy photos and busy paper don't work well, in my opinion.
In the collab you will find:
12 12x12 300 dpi Papers
15 Elements
3 Titles
2 Frames
1 Journal Paper
2 Labels
1 Tag
1 Ribbon
1 Bow
1 Tree
2 Flowers
1 Leaf
So then I kept designing and created the Family Gathering Add On Kit. That was a lot of fun!
Elements - including a "golden" family tree, some vintage clusters and lots of flowers.
Frames and journal portions. I wanted to include a lot of journaling and labeling options because family reunions are often the places where you tell stories, learn new things, discover new relatives - the details should be included with the photographs!
Some of the papers - I have tried to make a combination of vintage and modern feel and have included a few "trees" for backgrounds as well.
More papers to choose from.
And then there are all the titles. I included 42 titles, some of which could be mixed and matched to title pages for reunions, family tree projects or other family gatherings.
The Family Gatherings Add On Kit includes:
24 12x12 300dpi Papers
80 Elements:
42 Metallic Gold Titles
9 Frames
1 Journal Cluster
1 Journal Book
2 Labels
1 Label Holder
2 Bows
2 Buttons (1 recolored)
1 Element Cluster
1 Tree
1 Fern
2 Leaves
2 Flower Clusters
5 Flowers
1 Lace
1 Doily
3 Ribbons
1 Tag
1 Border Cluster
Next, I created a Quick Page Pack. This was a lot of fun. Included are two family tree pedigree chart pages, one with an opening for a photo and special journaling and a vintage French memo board with memorabilia and slots to place in two of your favorite photos. To match with this page I created a blank memo board paper and you can place your photos, journaling or memorabilia on top.
Here is another pedigree page. The only thing I added to this is the surname in the center.
Here is the French Memo Board. I used this quick page "as is" except for adding the title "Memories" from the add on kit.
This quick page is great for lots of journaling. I added the element cluster on the upper right, but otherwise used it as is.
This page is created using only my collaboration portion and will be a cover/opening page for our family reunion.
These photos chronicle my Grandma Hopkins' early life and include one as I remember her growing up. Both the collab and the add on were used for this.
This is my favorite of the pages I created using the kits. I believe this one uses only the Add On kit. Extra embellishments were added onto the book cluster.
