Required: A Family Photo

Whenever I’m with either of my kids, a family photo is a must. I just got around to scrapping one from our trip to California in May, but I’m really happy with it.

It just got posted on the Scrap-Mart blog, so I’m adding the supplies from there. The layout base is black American Craft cardstock. Patterned papers from October Afternoon’s “Five and Dime” and “Night Light Jack” as well as a piece of “Spring Fever” from Fancy Pants were used for the mats. Two of them were cut with my Grand Calibur from the Grand Large Labels Nestabilities by Spellbinders and then trimmed. The two borders were from October Afternoon’s sticker sheets from “Five and Dime” and “Schoolhouse.” I painted a wood veneer star and two paper stars (left-overs from a Silhouette border) with red Smooch and added a little October Afternoon sticker to the wooden start. The title mat is also an October Afternoon sticker with letters from October Afternoon and Glitz.  I stamped the date onto a tiny label sticker from my stash.

I’m in love with the October Afternoon papers, especially the stars from Five and Dime.
