Doing a little family history scrapping

I might have mentioned that my brain doesn't work the same as everyone else's. For the life of me I can't figure out why I can watch Dr. Who and come up with Pennsylvania Dutch style designs.

How did I get there? LOL I wonder what I'd come up with if I watched Little House on the Prairie? I'm not sure I want to know the answer to that one right now. LOL

I had a couple of pictures I wanted to set up in a layout and this style seemed to suit.



The pictures are of my Uncle Jimmie, Uncle Max, Aunt Carole and my mom in the winter of, I think, 1945. It's pretty common to get really bad ice storms in NE Arkansas but snow is rare. The full photo shows that they had about 4 inches of snow that day. I bet they were ecstatic.

I got the layout done and thought that it might make a nice quickpage for you so I copied it before merging it with the pictures.

I kinda like the modern application of Pennsylvania Dutch. I went to the Library last week and checked out a book on the history of American design. Fascinating book. It's a great reference for designs going back to Colonial times.

So now that I've rambled on, I'll put up the preview and link and head off to sleep. I'm getting over a cold and I still feel a little loopy.

Here's the preview:
