Personal Journal Title Page in Pennsylvania German Fraktur Style

This page is one of the options that I can do for you own journal title page.

These Journals with their handcrafted irregularities, antiqued edges, pale watercolors and scribbled notations, look like the remembrance books that individuals recorded their travels and adventures in decades ago.
These journals come in an assortment of sizes. The smaller size is perfect for keeping in  your haversack. Great for that trekking journal!
The middle size is great for those of you who like to sketch or watercolor while on the trail.
If you are a trader or a merchant the larger size might just fit your needs as  a ledger.
Size 4"x 6" $49
Size 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" $59
Size 8 1/2" x 11" $85
Please add $10.00 shipping, handling.

Personalized Records of Marriage or Birth

RECORD OF MARRIAGE

RECORD OF BIRTH FRAKTUR!

Record of Marriage Fraktur

Record of Birth Fraktur
 Personalized, Hand water colored and unframed $49

RECORDS OF MARRIAGE & BIRTH FRAKTUR a wonderful way to remember the best moments of life! Great for anniversaries, weddings, new births and birthdays. A blend of original art and personalized sentiments.

In early America, these announcements featured primitive drawings of angels, birds, flowers, hearts, etc. The resulting Early American Folk Art art or Fraktur was often the record of a family's history. These items were hung on walls, pasted inside trunks and passed on from generation to generation.
  
You provide the details to create a wonderful keepsake, Each one is personalized with the information that you send. I'll combine that information and then hand watercolor each one individually. Size: 8 1/2 x 11” can be cropped to it into an 8” x 10” frame.

If you'd like a RECORD OF MARRIAGE, just send me the name of the bride and groom and the date of the wedding. For RECORD OF BIRTH, I need the name of the child, sex, date of birth and the mother and father's name.  If they are a Mr. and Mrs., let me know. Otherwise just give me their names.
