"Family History"
 by Laura Best

The Memories of a Lifetime series provides you with a wealth of decorative art that you can download onto your computer from the enclosed CD, photocopy the images from the book, or use the perforated pages as it. They’ve scoured flea markets, vintage design books and other sources for old-fashioned, hard-to-find images that can be used in a variety of projects. All you need is a little imagination and this unique collection to create your own treasured keepsakes, from scrapbook pages and cards to quilts and wall hangings.

Each book in the series includes:

A CD containing high-quality color images – ranging in size from small, detailed borders to large, page-filling elements – that can be downloaded onto both PC and Macintosh computers.

Beautiful full-color images reproduced on 8 1/2" x 11" perforated, easy-to-remove pages ready to use.

An eight-page illustrated gallery of great project ideas.

In Family History, you’ll find marriage, christening and other certificates to fill in as well as many images including mothers, infants and a bride and groom that you can use to create your own unique projects.

Project of the Month
"ATC Calendar"
by Angela Hoffman

Start your project by cutting the background papers needed for the pages: 13 pieces 2 1/2" x 6" (one is for the cover), Cut the base 2 1/2" x 12" and one ATC sized piece (2 1/2"x3 1/2") for inside the base. Fold the 12" piece in half, wrong side together. Fold the 3 1/2" piece in half right side inside, fold over each end the other direction to create flaps for the base, glue flaps to inside of each side of the 12" piece to create the stand. Papers used are various Basic Grey Papers, Dream Street Papers: Carrinna Rose(Angela Hoffmann designs) and Nancy (Lara Ellingson designs) lines.

Using the Memories of a Lifetime Family History CD (5SPFAMILYHIST), choose and resize images for each of your calendar pages in your photo editing software. Make sure that each image fits within the ATC size of 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" size. I put multiple images onto a new 8" x 10" sized page. Cut out your images. Create a mini calendar using your favorite software program with each calendar month measuring 1 3/4" x 2 1/4" (I used Microsoft Publisher), print out and cut out.

Start by gluing each calendar page to one of the 6" pieces near the bottom, using an ATC sized blank for placement. The idea is to be able to cut out an ATC from each page once the calendar is expired. Age the edges and papers a bit with Tim Holtz Distress inks: tattered rose (5TH-TIM20240) and old paper (5TH-TIM19503) and Colorbox Cat's Eye ink pads in ochre,chestnut and dark moss, stamp corners in black ink with "see D's " flourish stamp by Inque Boutique.

Decorate each page using your cut out images, Daisyd's Rub On Tape (5DD-17096, 5DD-17097, 5DD-17098-Discontinued), small, mixed vintage Prima flowers (5PM-505103), various buttons(5PS-BUTTONS1), brads, and vintage lace, using your favorite glues. Stamp words in black ink with Making Memories Magnetic Letters(5MA-23485): rummage. Bind with your favorite binding method, I used my coil binder but it could also be bound with two holes and fibers or rings, decorate binding with fibers and lace.
