Laura Susannah

I am introducing the romantic February Papermaze Kit, over on the blog today.  This beautiful collection is ideal for St. Valentine, wedding and other romantic photos, but they are also perfect for heritage layouts. As the weather is cold and miserable, I have been working on my family tree, and making new links on Ancestry. I came across this lovely photo of a family ancestor. I will add details of Laura's life and family below. 

For details on making the layout, please see the Papermaze blog.
