This layout shows Maria's family tree. The birth siblings, parents and maternal grandparents full names are listed in the lower left and the adoptive parents, aunts and uncles, grandparents and great-grandparents full names are listed above the tree. Rather than try to fit all of this on some elaborate chart with boxes or circles or fancy diagram, I gave headings of "Parents", "Aunts and Uncles", "Grandparents" and "Great Grandparents" and then used two different colors of Zig pens to denote maternal or paternal relationship. Everything up the tree in green comes from my side and in black is from my husband's side of the family.
I wrote the poem myself, just for this layout. I have made the poem available printed on a vellum sticker. The "branches of our family tree" tag and the bare tree die cut both come from my inventory too. However, the greenery background paper does not. It came from my personal collection, purchased several years ago. I don't remember for sure, but I think it was in a booklet of floral patterns in a Paper Adventures book.
