Marjorie

One of my favourite topics for scrapbooking is my collection of heritage photographs. This is my great aunt Marjorie. The layout was created for the Scrap Paper Scissors Blog (Papermaze Design Team). This month I am working with the elegantly classical papers from Kaisercraft's Romantique collection. Please visit the blog for details of products and how I made the layout.

Marjorie Phyllis Holder - My Great Aunt Marjorie.
Born in 10^th June 1803 in Bromley, the eleventh of fourteen children to
Frederick Henry and Emma Jane Florence (Williams) Holder.

The 1911 Census shows Marjorie as a 7 year old school girl living at
120 Southlands Road Bromley with her parents and ten of her siblings.

Marjorie married Gordon Murdoch Stebbing (1901 – 1972) in 1928 in Bromley
They had no children.  Marjorie died in Eastbourne in 1989

I loved using the Kaisercraft Romantique 'Butterflies Printed Acetate' sheet and creating a large hydrangea bloom.

 

I will be back later in the month with another project using these papers.

Thanks for looking.
