FOREVER FAMILY

Well, it is the new year, and I have agreed to participate in a LOAD (LayOut-A-Day) challenge for the month of January!  This idea is the brainchild of Cathy, one the current Let's Scrap Design Team members, and she now has quite a following.  I am going to do my best here, especially since Cathy is allowing two-page layouts to count as 2, and cards as 1.  I was thinking 31 cards!  ;-)  Here is the direct link to the directions, if you are thinking you are "man" enough for this challenge:  http://letsscrap.ning.com/group/100-lo-s-in-2012/forum/topics/load-challenge-for-january.

I want to share here my very first layout for 2012, which also will be submitted for the Let's Scrap DT challenge 126, posted by Jeaunes last Friday.  I will first post the Let's Scrap sketch I used, then my layout, then all the detail--up close and personal.  Enjoy!


Remember, we are at liberty to use the Let's Scrap sketches as a starting point, copying them *exactly* or allowing the sketch, as well as our photos and embellishments, to lead us where they may:




Here are the "bits'n'pieces" of the detail:








Thanks for visiting!  If you have not already done so, please sign up to "follow" and do please leave a comment so I know you were here!  HAPPY NEW YEAR to all who pass through this blog.  May the next year provide you with good health, happy times and prosperity!
