Scrapbooking Workshop Shirley Ratliff and Luretta
Williams October is Family History Month! Autobiography
Web Information
Both of our presenters are genealogists first and scrapbook hobbyists second. This brings a more balanced eye toward scrapbooks that last, as well as preserving "the facts" while producing a pleasing, eye catching book. Both are experienced researchers and accomplished genealogists. Through the years they have collaborated on many different types of genealogical and preservation projects. Scrapbooking is one of their newer talents, as they both state they have been organizing family material into albums for a good four years. Both are members of the Ottawa County Genealogical Society and past Miami Public Library volunteers. They share a deep desire to see family information preserved. Shirley's
approach to scrapbooking centers on stamping, and using stickers and
repurposing wallpaper. She also loves to incorporate cut outs from old
cards and the like. Stamped cards are something she had done for the
enjoyment of family and friends for about three years. She also brings
many other interests into her work. Shirley is very active in the Rebels
Car Club of Miami, which has provided for some interesting scrapbooking.
In addition to her award winning scrapbooks, she has most recently taken
first place in historical media with her "family hankies" shadow box at
the Tulsa County Genealogical Society annual contest in October, 2006. Luretta is fascinated by the marriage of genealogical and historical preservation with the art of scrapbooking. She has won many awards for her work, the latest being blue ribbons in two different categories at the Tulsa County Genealogical Society annual contest in October, 2006. Her work bridges the worlds of genealogy and scrapbooking by including hard data into her artistic and accessible scrapbooks. In this way, information can be preserved in a more unique way then simple publishing.
