A little repetitive, but maybe that's just because she wanted to cement the idea of creating a system that can work for you. I can see it working. The first part is the most overwhelming though - put all your old photos in one place and assess what you've got. UGH!!!!!

Good examples of simple ways to incorporate pages and memorabilia. Good tips for the process. All in all, very helpful as I eat this elephant, one bite at a time.

I constantly look at my heritage photos and think I need to get them scrapbooked. I have done three heritage albums, all as gifts, and have yet to take the same photos and create the books for my family. Becky Higgins' book gives some great examples of how to incorporate your family heritage into simple reproducible layouts and Becky's style will stand the test of time.

A great book for the family historian/scrapbooker.

If you are interesting in creating a tribute album or tackling the boxes of photos from your grandmother's basement, this book will help you chart a course and keep the project under control. Lots of checklists, tips, hints, and page ideas that are true classics.
