Do any of you like old vintage looking photos? I am always so intrigued by the clothing worn, the hairstyles, the various trims on the clothing pictured, the furnishings. To me it is all so fascinating. Then to wonder what it was like to live so long ago when the world was so different and to think of what my ancestors would think if they were to suddenly appear on the earth today!
Heritage layouts are some of my favorite layouts to create because it seems to send me into this deep thought process. Plus I get to work with some of my favorite items! I love pearls, and doilies, and cameos and then the wonderful old epheerma pieces and wallpaper- looking patterned papers. So let’s get our our supplies and get creating!

Awesome layout Lisa! I love the details, including using weathered wood as your distress color of choice. I would not have thought to try that and what a great effect!
