Ideas for Family History and Photo Scrapbook?
Has anyone used a software program or found a website to help make a scrapbook/photo album to use my family photos and allow me to insert pages of text (stories to go with the pictures) and perhaps scan a 100 year old marriage license, newspaper clippings, etc. I’ve started this project by sorting through the pictures but can’t seen to get a logical sequence for the project.
Help!
I use LifeTimez software that I sell through:
www.topline-creations.com/ myphotographsmylife
I’ve used several other programs in the past but this one is very user friendly and I personally use it for all of my projects. They have several different templates already built in the soft ware and you can send them your finished album to be printed.
I often scan in marriage and death certificates and clippings. Organizing really is a personal preference. Chronological is really great but often very difficult to manage. I think it’s better to break it down into smaller groups. As an example, an album I am currently doing for someone celebrating 70 years: Childhood (break this one down to early years, teen, parents, and siblings) – Nursing School/College – Marriage – Children – Grandchildren – Life time friends.
If you have already sorted all of your pictures you have well over half the work done. Getting organized is often the hardest part. For the above project, I am sorting into the above categories, then picking the best photos/documents to use. I am putting them into my digital scrapbook along with stories I scanned or typed directly into the album. I’m having top-line creations print up a hard bound 12 x 12 photobook.
Hope some of this helped!
