Motherlode! - Digital Scrapbook Place Gallery

Photo Details
Limequilla Addicted to this place Registered: January 2009 Location: Indianapolis, USA Posts: 1,589 send this user a Private Message	I received a MOTHERLODE of personal artifacts from a cousin in the mail yesterday - an album containing letters from the Civil War back home describing the soldiers conditions; letters from home to the Civil War soldier describing home life; personal correspondence with details about everyday life; and even a couple of WWII rationing coupon books. Included was an entire scrapbook album filled with family photos, vacation photos, nearly everything is over a hundred years old! The photos are small, but clear. I can open the album flat (highly unusual) and scan at 600 dpi. Oh my gosh! I will be scanning for a month if I choose to scan everything! This is LO #1 using Ginger 2 Page Kit by Elizabeth Weaver with no alterations besides resizing & rotating, clearing shadows and then re-shadowing. The title is simply a text cut out showing the paper beneath with a drop shadow. The bottom of the photo was nasty, so I added the top of a page frame - 95% of the frame is actually off the page. The kit is a super one to use for Genealogy because it includes everything one needs to add a bit of zip and a lot of style to dull B&W photos.
