Families are Forever

Hello Simple Stories fans, it's Cari [1] with you today.  I decided to dig into my Legacy collection and I'm so glad that I did.  These papers are so rich & warm.  Perfect for a variety of photos from many years past to present day.  So I decided to use a photo from our family shoot last Thanksgiving and simply converted the colour photo to black & white (because the original colours in my photo really didn't go with the colour scheme).  This photo captures all the children in a tree - yes as soon as we found a spot for picture taking they were all up the tree in a blink of an eye!!! Kids will be kids!

I love the turquoise floral background paper and I added pops of that same colour with a few embellishments, such as the die-cut flowers, stickers and I also cut out this [2] Silhouette polaroid pic frame on my Silhouette in the same colour.

I love the tree theme in this collection and decided to use this [3] Silhouette cut file of the tree and layered that overtop of the tree on the journal card.

The 2" x 12" strips make creating a page so easy & quick. I love that! I simply used one vertically and another horizontally and this providing a starting point for my layout.

With all the matching embellishments and co-ordinating products it makes is so much fun to add finish off a layout!!

Thanks for joining me today!
