It's not what your family does together that's important, it's the special time you spend together and the memories you create with each other-memories that you'll want to preserve long past the terrible two's, the teen traumas and all the other joys you'll experience as your family grows up. This sleek, simple layout pays tribute to that all-important family time, and ensures that you'll always remember the details of life as you know it in your own family. LeNae chose a sweet pink paper from Paper Pizazz's® Busy Scrapper's Solution Girls: Baby & Toddler Papers for the background of this layout, then added a large piece of pink textured paper across the middle to break up the allover pattern. She enlarged a photo to 5"x7" to create a striking focal point on the page, then created a short journaling block to tell the story behind the photo, accenting it with alphabet tiles and artwork from the paper collection. Finally, LeNae embellished the layout with coordinating pink buttons, mini brads, ribbon and silk flowers from the Retro Embellish-abilities(TM) kit.

Putting your feelings on paper is a way of capturing the beautiful moments in your life - and making them unforgettable.
