Heritage Hunting

Hi Heritage Hunters!! Look at this little helper that I cooked up just for you when you post your Heritage Hunting layouts in the Heritage Hunters gallery at Heritage Scrap!

At the March 23 chat, we'll discuss how to use the leading questions of who, what, when, where, how, and why. Then we will put our templates to use!!

You can use a template like this to create an interviewing helper like this journal prompt card:

Then you can mail the card to a relative to answer the question or you can use it to create a gorgeous layout showing the answer to the question!

The journaling on this is:
(On the journal prompt card) "Who has been the biggest influence in your life?"
(Near the journal prompt card) "Thank you dear sweet Lord for these loving people!"
(On the layout as the answer) "My grandmother, Grama Elsie, has had the most influence on me both as a child and as an adult.  She taught me all the important stuff of life - how to be loving, caring, giving, sharing, fun, comforting, and overall just plain - WONDERFUL like she was.  These are the things I am now trying to teach my two amazing children!  Now they have taken her place as the most influential people in my life!"

Sooooooooo.......since we were talking at the last chat about searching for old family photos and documents on eBay, we decided to give it a try and create a layout using our findings! Or our frustrations! Either way, let's create a layout journaling about our efforts and possible hits! Post your layout in the Heritage Hunters gallery at Heritage Scrap with a link to the chat forum by the start of the next chat on Tuesday, March 23 and you will receive this posting bonus!! No random drawing here - everyone wins in Heritage Hunters!!

Happy Hunting and Happy Scrappin'!!
