The Fun Of Family Tree Scrapbooking For All The Family
One of the most fun and amusing hobbies to come out full force in a long time is Scrapbooking. Combining genealogy and scrapbooking can reward you with some super projects, some great family fun and some really amusing end results.
Scrapbooking a family tree project for someone is always sure to be a crowd pleaser, particularly if you do a family scrapbooking project to give to an older relative, a favorite aunt or uncle. Even for your own parents, you will find them completely thrilled with the photos and memorabilia that come with a family scrapbooking project for your own family genealogy.
Family tree building can be a lot more fun when you take the time to make it a book for the entire family to enjoy. Family scrapbooking your own family tree, using bright papers and intriguing designs makes the project that much more fun to accomplish than it was in the beginning. Genealogy is interesting, but if you add to it the craft application of family scrapbooking, you’re going to come up with a winner every time.
Scrapbooking has the added fun of letting you find and scan old photos, old documents, even perhaps pictures from the ancient family bible that you don’t really want to be out and in full use so that they can be kept safe. They can be scanned, printed and used, offering unique visual interest and authenticity to your family scrapbooking project, and real historical value to your end result, without jeopardizing the actual documents that you have gathered and protected over the course of your genealogy foray.
Scrapbooking your family tree can begin with a simple purchased Scrapbook. Add to that some older photos that you collect and gather from family members. Remember to use more than one branch of your family so that the end result of your family scrapbooking has more than just the single family in it and will appeal to a wide range of your family group. A few ideas on where to get older, possibly very old photos of ancestors or family members might be a great aunt, a grandmother or great grandmother who has what we all like to term those “packrat” tendencies that seem to get us involved in genealogy to begin with.
Quite often older relatives will have more than just photos, but may have wedding licenses, or birth certificates or old family bibles that house information that you won’t want to build your family scrapbooking project without including. Some ideas for pages are perhaps a page for your parents, photos of them as children, documents such as school report cards or baptism certificate and so on.
Likewise with your grandmother or grandfather. Any older photos that they may have, along with their wedding certificate and perhaps information about their first child, along with any images you may be able to find.
Family scrapbooking makes the genealogy project far more personal and more real to you. You will view portions of the life of your ancestors that you never imagined. Their lives, so long in the past, will become far more real to you when they are laid out for you in such a visual way. Family tree scrapbooking is one way to make the past, YOUR past, come to life.
