This is a layout I did this week of my daughter's third grade Living Museum event last year. She read Uncle Tom's Cabin and several biographies of Harriet Beecher Stowe to prepare for her part and write a report. In some of the photos, she tried to use a serious expression to make it look like a real Civil War era photo. During the Civil War, the subject of a photo kept a very relaxed facial expression because any motion at all would blur the photo. The camera shutter stayed open too long to hold a smile that would look natural in the photo. The Union Army uniform she is holding in one of the photos is authentic. Click on any layout to see more detail and read captions.
I used Stampin' Up cardstock and printed products from the Deja Views Timeless collection for this ten-page 12x12 layout. I made the captions on my iMac. The best part was getting it all done in one afternoon while the kids went bowling.
