Challenge 17 - Vintage Family Photos
Happy Monday Fellow Scrapbloggers!
I hope everyone had an exciting or relaxing weekend, depending on what you were in the mood for! Today it is my pleasure to announce the winner of Challenge 17 - Vintage Family Photos. I spent a lot of time reviewing all the entries for this challenge. I found myself getting lost in the stories told about generations past. You are all wonderful documentarians! I feel inspired to create a heritage project of my own. Before I announce the winner, I want to share with you two other wonderful entries. I’m sure they will delight and inspire you as much as they did me!
First up is Abe and Anita created by rbtaylor. Like many of our entries, this scrapblog tells the story of rbtaylor’s grandparents. It stands out to me because of all the beautiful photos that include many details. I also found the story through pictures quite sentimental.
Next I want to share with you an amazing story of family. This scrapblog spoke to me in so many ways. First of all, BigRedssw is an active part of our community and I see her bopping all over leaving comments and saying “howdy” - she warms my heart! The story told in this scrapblog reminded me of how small the world really can be. Sally’s family inhabited an estate just outside of Georgetown, Kentucky. My husband and I went to college in Georgetown and we often wondered about the mysterious “Cardome.” I feel connected to her now through this scrapblog as it represents pieces of our past that somehow are woven together. I know you will enjoy this story of drama, seduction and family history!
And the winner of Challenge 17 - Vintage Family Photos is trilogymom!! Her scrapblog titled Life in Tomahawk, WI 1950s1980s is simply superb! I love the family history told through her journaling and photos. Page 28 is hauntingly awesome. I am so inspired by her pages. Truly an exceptional scrapblog. Congratulations!!
Check out all the challenges in the forum and be sure to participate in Challenge 18: Create a Fantasy/Magical scrapblog.
Cheers!
Rebecca
What are people saying?
Rebecca…thanks so much for featuring my SB in the Challenge 17!!! I am truly honored to be considered along with so many talented SB’ers!!
And I am so tickled that we have this connection through Georgetown and Cardome. My mother visited Cardome whenever she was in G-town for a visit, one of the nuns from her school days was Mother Superior all those years later. But by the time I was grown and interested in going, the main house where my grandfather lived had burned down…I have so wished that I had gone with Mother earlier and gotten to see it.
You have my Email from this comment…so drop me a line and we can get to know each other better.

Rebecca, Thanks so much for noticing my Tomahawk scrapbook. It was such fun to make and once I got started I felt driven to preserve some of these memories for the next generation. All of my family loves looking at the book. I could not have done it without all the great tips I learned here on scrapblog. Both the web site and the people on it are dedicated to helping everyone to become a scrapblogger!
I am more thrilled than I can say to be noticed on a site like this with so many beautiful scrapbooks! Kathryn
Thank you for featuring my SB, Rebecca! Truly a surprise–an absolutely wonderful one! I loved making this scrapbook as a complement to the hard-copy version I made for my grandmother. This digital copy looks so different because of the many artistic options that are so unique to Scrapblog, and I had a great time exploring them.
There are so many stunning scrapbooks on this site, and I find inspiration and all sorts of tips from them every day. Thank you to everyone who shares their hard work!
