April Showers Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Join April (April Showers) and Carla (CRS) at 8:00 p.m. (ET) for a special "Save Your Photos Day" edition of the Heritage Crop! Save Your Photos Day is an annual event that focuses on what we can do to safeguard our photos and treasured memorabilia before disasters or accidents occur. Digitizing the photos is also first step in creating heritage digital scrapbook pages. We will cover scanning tips and show some simple ways you can organize and sort your photos so that getting started isn't an overwhelming task. We'll have a fun scrapping challenge too. Hope to see you there! So sorry the chat room isn't working correctly for us tonight! I've posted the challenge in post #15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April Showers Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 There is something wrong with the chat on the back end. I can't access it in the Admin Controls either. I am trying to figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April Showers Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 YOUR HERITAGE CROP CHALLLENGE Okay, first here is the tutorial for today: I talked about scanning the journaling on the back of a photo and using it on your page. While I didn't do that for the layout I posted, Carla did! I have some other layouts that I've done that for though since I love using the handwriting of my ancestors. If you don't have any photos like that, use COLOR on your heritage page. You can even do both! Post your layouts in the Heritage Crop Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April Showers Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Cool challenge April... I lent a family album to my cousin and now he says he doesn't have it...

April Showers Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Here is a layout I did where I used the scanned back of the photo. The writing is my great-grandmother's. The photo of my dad's family was taken on Father's Day in 1953. His dad died a few weeks later. I would never have known my great-grandma called my grandfather "Dukie" if I hadn't seen it on the photo back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhbren Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 This montage shows the steps used to improve the photo of my grandmother and her sister as girls, and was posted as a class assignment some years ago. I don't remember who the instructor was, but the lessons have been a great help to me. The frame for the photo is an inch and a half in diameter; the photo itself appears to have been cut from a larger photo to fit the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Week 2 - Muggie & Helen montage_edited-3.jpg I think it was probably one of Katherine Weaver's photo fix classes. I took all of them and still use the techniques too.
