The Everything ABC's Blog Hop Featuring the Letter F


Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop!

For this hop we will be featuring the letter "F". This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their "F" element will be featured in their post.

If you have just hopped onto my blog, please start at the beginning at Linda's blog ~ Scrappy Therapy 


If you came from Michelle Battitori blog then you're on the right track!

The Letter "F" represents the word "Family". I was going through some old pictures and decided to make a scrapbook page of memorable photos from a trip to California which is where I was born and raised prior to moving to Pa. 
I used Balloon Ride paper pack to complete this layout. The word "Family" was cut from the CTMH Artiste Cricut cart pg 61. I cut my other page embellishments from the CTMH Artbooking cricut cart. Specifically using pgs. 38, 39, 47 and 79. I did some faux stitches connecting the pictures and added some washi to the arrow embellishment and gave it some dimension using 3-D foam tape. I distressed the edges using chocolate ink.
Some very special people grace this page. My grandfather who is no longer with us, my aunts, uncle, sister and cousin. There is nothing more important than "family"!!
