The Williams County Genealogical Society met April 8, 2013 at the West Annex of the Bryan Public Library, Bryan, Ohio. Patricia Goebel, Co-Vice President, presented how she incorporated scrapbooking and genealogy. As a beginner in scrapbooking, she started with a photo album of her father’s side (Beaumont/Beamont) and added journaling to each generation. With the use of a Mini Cricut (cutting machine) the photos became vintage looking, very appropriate for the era. She also presented photos of her granddaughter’s collage graduations and made a college so many of her moments could be enjoyed. Pam Lash, President, demonstrated the Big Kick machine that she uses for marking cards but can also be used for embellishments in scrapbooking.

Next month, Mary Alice Roth, Co-Vice President is the speaker. Her topic will be: Embellish & Enhance Your Heritage Scrapbook. When she started working on her heritage scrapbook, her interest in genealogy exploded and has become a passion. Come and learn how the facts you already might have can be put into generational order and enhanced with color, layering, stamping, paper tearing, distressing with ink pads, cut out from a heavy paper, wet rolled edges, fancy punched edges and corners and stories you can tell to YOUR ancestors. The society will meet on Monday, May 13, 2013 at 6:30pm in the Harmon Room of the West Annex, Bryan, OH. Open to the public.
