I have always found the origin of different surnames to be so interesting. So I thought that would be the perfect theme for this week’s Heritage challenge and a great way for us to get to know each other better!

The rules are to do a layout featuring one or more of the surnames in your ancestry. You can of course include pictures but they must be 1970’s or older in order to qualify as “Heritage”. I chose “Reagan” which is my mother’s surname because I have always felt more connected to my maternal line.

Also a little homework for ya; you should include a little history about the origin of the surname you choose. If you haven’t researched it already, I have a feeling you’ll have a lot of fun and just might find out something surprising in your history!

Don’t forget that the layout should be 50% scrap artist product in order to qualify your layout for your March Madness contest points and be sure to include a link here so we can all admire your beauteous layouts! Have fun!

Here is my sample:

Sounds like a great challenge, I hope I can scrap for it.

For those who plan to do this - make sure you know where your line came from as many names have many different origins and you wouldn't wanna scrap the French meaning if your family was German or English, hehe

Not overly happy with this one but I enjoyed the research. I've chosen my Mother's maiden name.
