4 generations Family Tree Clock

Family and Family History have something in common, beside the name: they require passion, and devotion. They require TIME.
Remind yourself and your family about this with a Family Tree Clock like this:

It has a family picture in the center with parents and children, with pictures of the grandparents on the 4 sides and then pictures of the great grandparents in place of some of the numbers.
It's a very inexpensive way to express your love for your Family and Genealogy to everyone that is welcomed in your home.

You can find instruction on how to create a clock like this here.
You will also find more clock templates in the Template Gallery on my website, just type "clock" in the search box.
While these templates might be sized for specific clocks, you might just resize their images to make them fit any size clock, up to 12 inches (inside diameter).

Family pedigree heart

I have been thinking of different ways to display a family pedigree, and while I have created quite a few different family trees, I really wanted something different.
This Family pedigree heart came to me from the constant thought that Family and Genealogy is about Love.
It is composed of leaves and has pictures and names of a person's ancestors with such person at the bottom:

Here is a 5 generations version with a darker background:

This is also how it will look if used as a Magnetic Family Tree background once the picture magnets are on it.
I think it would look cute even as the cover for a 5x5 greeting card.
