Today brings us to a new Anything goes Challenge for Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, we would
love to see what you have been making, all comers and crafts are welcome, we
have lovely sponsor this fortnight Peppercus Design will be giving the lucky winner 3 Images of choice.
PRIZE Three Images
I have used a cute image Detective Guinea Pig from our sponsor, to make a shadow box card for Family History Month celebrated during August.
We first started our tree the year my Dad was 60, he wanted to know why there
was no mention of Aunts, uncles and cousins on his father’s side of the family,
asking what his grandfather’s name was I got a funny look and he said
‘Grandad’, I started with my grandfather and found his brief service record
online which showed his parents address and an initial. So started our hunt into
the tree, looking at both Mum and Dad’s trees, discovering that in various
towns at the same time branches of both sides of the tree knew one another,
some even lived in the same street!
I decided to get fancy with the card and made my first
shadow box card, after looking at a couple of tutorials online I made my own to
fit a C7 envelope when folder flat. I have used a free sentiment from A Piece of Heart added typed Genealogy Month 2018 and the second sentiment after all sometimes
we feel like detectives finding out so much information, in an old family
letter mentions trouble for one member of the family still in England, after
reading newspapers online from the area and era we discovered that as Foreman
of the mine, he had been accused of murder due to a mine collapse (when he
wasn’t at the mine) and death of a worker. He was acquitted and the death was
deemed accidental.
Here is my card:-
