There is a border of brown cs around the edges.

four generations

It's time for another Make it Monday No. 60 at The Memory Nest
I had so much fun creating this layout from the great sketch! I did a lot of fussy cutting- the frame and flowers, but the time was well spent. I decided to try something different with the bottom area and I love how all the bits and pieces look! I think that while it is busy, it is still cohesive and doesn't detract from the photo. I absolutely love the end result and this is one of my favorites this year. 
My mom, Kara, Aubree, and myself- Feb. 2015. It's such a blessing to be able to have a photo like this. I hope we can capture another in the near future. <3 font="">


supplies:
cs: Hobby Lobby and Michael's
pp, chipboard and stickers: Simple Stories
twine: Papertrey Ink
sequins: Hazel & Ruby
lace trim: Hobby Lobby

Come on over to the Memory Nest blog to see the wonderful sketch and what the talented ladies on the team created using it.
