Family Matters.






  I want to thank all of you for voting for me in Cosmo Crickets design team member search, I cannot wait for the results!

Today I bring you another large image that I have scrapped.  I loved the vignetting given to this photo and tried to emulate the colors throughout. 

This is my mothers whole family.  I started with a neutral background of basic grey basics craft with small dots.   I centered it on the bottom, not the best design principal but lets the top stay airy.  I took some sales tags and inked them with tim holtz faded denim, vintage photo, and tea dye.  This creates a great border across any page, giving it a handmade look!

Mimicking those colors I took cosmo crickets wanted collection again and created a simple blue one inch border across the tags.  I then also took the schoolhouse matpad from krate paper to create about a two inch border of ledger paper and a place for the words to sit on. 

I chose this title because this is a rare photo of her entire family together, and now they all live across the country, so remembering family matters is always an important part.  These chip letters are from Girls Paperie, I am obsessed.

Thanks everyone!
