Our Family

Life is what happens while the clock is ticking.  Time passes, the kids grow, another grey hair appears (wait, did I say that?, because really, I have no grey hair, really), and another number is added to your age.  As time passes, we often have pictures to document the passage of time. 

I really enjoy using those pictures to show how dramatically things change in that time.  It’s absolutely incredible to look at the differences in our family in 5 years.  These pictures were just about 5 years apart, actually closer to 5 1/2.  I remember trying to take a picture with a wiggly two year old and a fussy 1 month old.  Oh, how times have changed.  How much closer we are as a family.  How many memories passed in between.  Certainly worthy of a page.

Supplies:  Crate Paper (paper, stickers, embellishments, 6x6), misc cardstock, The Twinery Twine

Design Tip:  Mixing scales of print  Mix the scale of prints (12x12 & 6x6) creates interest and contrast while maintaining a sense of unity

Price Per Page:  $$ ($2-$3 MSRP)
