Blessed

My DGC, Allen and Helen Grace. I originally did this layout for a challenge at another site - using a photo of someone's children (One Picture - Many Layouts at Creative Scrappers). I realized after I'd scrapped it, that I could change the picture out and use this adorable photo I took of the children last year! All ppr are MME. I used a darker green cardstock to mat some of the pieces. The vine border is all hand doodled with a green pen. The "stitching" across the border strip was done by punching holes with my paper piercer and connecting the dots with a green zig pen. There is also some faux stitching around the dotted mat with a green pen. The border strip is also punched with a MS edge punch. The flowers across the middle are stamped (with 3 different flower stamps) in green on a transparency. The quotes are all double matted. The title quote reads:

Blessed are the children for theirs is a world of wonder.

The quote on the bottom: Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

Thanks so much for stopping by! :D

This layout is NOT crooked IRL...not sure why the border looks crooked! Sorry!
