The Tapestry of Life

This morning my best friend asked me why I hadn't updated my blog in a while. Seems she checks it almost every day (she lives in Tennessee) and was getting a little tired of the banana bread recipe :D I promised her that I would be better at updating from now on.
I've been a little under the weather for a few weeks and have had to focus my energy on some other things. That's my story . . . and I'm sticking to it!
Cliche?
Well, I can be that every once in a while.

This page is the first time I have ever used products from only one brand. The paper, stickers, gems and liquid glass are from Close to My Heart. But if you ask me the name of the collection... well, that's where I draw a blank.
Liquid Glass is fast becoming my favorite scrapbook supply. It gives just the right amount of shine (without glitter) to a page and really amps up the star quality of what might be considered lackluster without it.

The paper collection is just so beautiful -- all muted purples, greens and tans, swirls and paisley. Almost antiqued looking.
This spring, I took photos of Hannah wearing one of our favorite dresses, a feathered fan and her hair wreath from our wedding. The photos were perfect with the paper and embellishments.
I used the Liquid Glass on the large letters of the title, on one side of the left photo mat and the outline of the flower and purple gems as the center of the flowers.
I added Hannah's age and four purple gems in ascending sized on the circle sticker on the bottom right.
And that's that!

Tomorrow, I will share the other page that I used the same Close to My Heart collection.
