Gifts from the Heart

While I was taking pictures of my niece and her two young children, I was thinking that none of them would turn out. Her little one was having way too much fun to sit still and take a picture. Once I developed them, I could clearly see the love that this family has for each other. The pictures that "didn't turn out" became a layout filled with laughter and love.

I used a technique that I learned from a DVD that was sent to me by Creating Keepsakes magazine. I learned to wrap wire around a marker, then add beads and stretch it across my page. I also used that idea to add dimension to my frame and to create a heart. Thanks CK for the great idea!
