Family Ties

I finally got this layout finished - it's using this month's Cherish Challenge layout, Duplicate Patterns on page 64. My original title was just 'Family' but then when I finished the layout and after I had added the quote, I decided to add 'Ties' and I'm really glad I did - it's more complete now. I used Chocolate Rub-Ons and Chocolate Waxy Flax, even though the color in this paper pack is Cocoa, and I think they look close enough! The rub-ons were used to number the pictures and then on the tabbed piece that pulls out, it names who is in each picture. On the back of the tabbed piece there is one more picture of my cousin, Peter sleeping - notice there are lots of sleepers in these pics! I didn't get many pictures that weekend and I missed a lot of family shots, so I wanted to at least include all of the good ones I had. We got our new camera that weekend and I spent a lot of time figuring it out and playing around with it, so not all of the pics turned out.

Here is the pull out tabbed piece...

I created a 6x6 page as an addition to these two 12x12 pages since I had just a couple more pictures to add - it also gave me some more room to add more journaling - plus it was a good way to feature Riley who got Baptized that weekend, and Simon who was Blessed that weekend. Here are both sides of that 6x6...
