The title sounds a bit self gratifying but it's not the photo I'm talking about it's the feeling I get when I look at this photo of us all together as one little family.
The journalling reads: We are so lucky to have two healthy children. This picture reminds me to count my blessings more often.
I made this layout by printing the photo onto canvas paper. Overlayed the acetate and stamped the flourishy surround with white staz-on. Then I taped the photo behind the top layer of paper and stitched around the edge of the acetate with my sewing machine. I tore the edges back to the stitching and glued the lace in place underneath the acetate. The pearls were added to the corners to give the picture some dimension as it all seemed to be under glass so to speak!My yummy new stamps came from Tillys in Immingham and look fab stamped in white, but I had to be careful which colours I put underneath them otherwise the words weren't legible.A wee bunch of flowers and a bronze zip pull. (It's about time I used those zip pulls I have had them forever!!)
