Title page of "In Loving Memory" album by Tania
Wednesday, February 17, 2010 at 5:00AM Here's Tania:
The grief of my mom's death has come and gone in waves over the past 2 1/2 years, and with her birthday being Feb 25th, i'm finding the waves a little stronger right now. And quite honestly, feeling a little emotionally drained. So, I used this challenge prompt to tell a story with no photos in a different way, creating a story, essentially with no real words. Instead, I chose to create an opening page for my In Loving Memory album, and used a family tree chart to 'tell' the story for me. While Amanda's prompt encourages us to tell our stories without photos, this is a perfect way to tell your story--in a roundabout way--without a long string of eloquently written sentences. A family tree helped me tell an important story without having a say a thing. So if you find yourself in the same position, without photos and at a loss for words, I encourage you to create a family tree showing where you loved one fit in the genealogy of their family.

What a perfect sentiment ... it says so much.
Okay, aside from the fact that I love this idea for a title page, I have to just say that this layout, from a purely scrapbooking viewpoint, simply rocks. ;) Love it!!
Wonderful post... Very informational and educational as usual!
