A Matriarch

And that just might be an understatement....

Although her family is very small, this powerful lady cannot ever be forgotten. I know in my heart that it is greatly through her stamina and perserverence that her two grandchildren, (myself included), are alive and well today. She served for years in the New York fashion industry, working for Lisanne, a lingerie design company. Thus, the theme. I thought the shoe button found in Scraptiv!ty's vintage findings was the perfect final touch. The papers are Graphic 45: Renaissance Faire Masterpiece and Webster’s Pages: Nature’s Storybook collection Nature’s Manuscript, Plant & Nurture, and Wishes Come True. I only cut a couple accents for this out of the Plant & Nurture, and Wishes Come True papers, (the green and white elements). The large flourish came from a Little Yellow Bicycle Die Cut package that was found in the Scraptiv!ty store. I covered it with the glitters from the kit. I love matting my photos. This is matted with complimentary cardstock found in the kit and I used a little ink to blend the photo into the background.

I hope that you enjoy a little more details about my layouts from this month's kit designs. I have just a few more to come.

Have a lovely Valentine's Day,...you are "sew" cute! ;)
