"Family Memories" Here is a layout using up some scrapbooking stash. Scraps of paper, an old arrow chipboard that I covered with paper from an old dictionary. I used the same dictionary to create the 3 homemade flowers, I used a punch to punch out the flowers, then I inserted a homemade flower in the center of the lower one and added a pearl. It's hard to see the 3rd flower since I made it tight and small so it would fit in the center of another flower. I used 2 flowers from my flower stash, a clear button, some thread, a piece of canvas sticky back that I cut in half. I also used my Close To My Heart stamps to stamp around the edges, I inked one part of the Maya Road pom pom ribbon w/ black stazon and left one small piece of my pom pom ribbon white. I used a few of Martha Stewart pearls, a brad and a small tag that says, "Family Memories". This is a picture of my brother, his wife & step-son, a "New Beginning" for him, they just got married at
the time of this picture. He became a husband and dad all in one day! It was fun using up some "Unused" stash. The Maya Road pom pom trim was the only new product I used. I am giving this layout to my brother and his wife to frame & hang in their new place.
