Focus On Monday: Family

Hi there & Happy Monday to all of you Lily Bee fans!

Today is a new week & a new focus.
Patricia & I are here today to share a couple creations with the focus on: Family.

First up is Patricia's GORGEOUS layout.
Just LOOK at that heart & how she put the chit chat words all around it.
I LOVE that!

Here's her layout & what she has to say:
"We just had my sister-in-law visiting. We are a happy, thankful family, but there’s always reminders of not having both sets of our parents and our daughter’s grandparents. It’s different, not the same, but still good. I couldn’t help but think of the quote by Stitch from the movie Lilo & Stitch. I made a small collage of our immediate family and close aunts and uncle. Cut out a heart from the background Jump Rope paper, layered the reverse side of Lime Rickey paper behind it. Then cut a larger outline of a circle with plain cardstock. Several of the chit chat stickers went so well with the theme, and I love the eclectic look it gives. I added some applique-style stitching around the heart, and then filled with labels, letter stickers and embellishments to finish it off."

what a heartfelt layout!

I'm sharing a layout about my family tapestry...

the 2 threads that complete my sweet little family, my children!

I wanted my layout to portray both how a quilt is like a tapestry
plus the different threads that weave together to create a family.
I believe by trimming off the edges of each of my paper strips, I

represented that quite well.
We, as a family, come together bound by love.
