Family

Hello my scrappy friends! Today I'm sharing my latest layout for the Color Stories Inspiration. Design Team. Come play along with us on this wonderful challenge. We would love to have you join us!

This layout is dedicated to Leslie Kamm, owner of Blue Fern Studios, for her dedication to family. God bless you Leslie. 

Here is how I solved this case file:

Scheme: All five colors used
Evidence: Leaves, stamps, Ink
Testimony: Prompt Idea - List Love

Using seedlings is a fun way to enhance most anything on a layout. They may be applied to chipboard, paper, flowers, or most anything, really. 

Techniques used are three dimensional work, texturizing, fussy cutting, layering, painting, heat embossing, and stamping.

My family is everything to me and makes me happy. Hack and I have been married for forty four years and support each other in many ways. We met while we were students at TCU and he later earned his MBA from Texas A&M University, Commerce.  He is the love of my life and we are devoted to each other. 

I love my children for all they have accomplished, but most of all for the good and responsible people they have become. They have happy, fulfilling lives and enjoy their family and friends! Lee is our firstborn and earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of North Texas. He works for Patterson Dental and lives here in the DFW area, where he has an active social life. Liz also lives here in the DFW area and earned her Bachelor of Political Science from Texas Tech University. I think Liz was the original “party animal” with dozens of funny stories to tell and a wonderful sense of humor, she is always the life of the party. She works for EMSI. 

Mother keeps us all in line and sets high expectations. She is a spry 97 years young and lives in her beautiful home and still drives. She is very independent.
