Close To My Heart: Typeset Layouts

This is a very special layout for me, as some of you may know, my mom is 81 years young and I am the baby of the family.  My siblings all had boys so my mom did not have a grand daughter, that is until my little Victoria was born.  Of course I had to have a generation portrait taken of the three of us.  This picture was taken right after my son Hunter was born five years ago.  Finally my pictures are slowly but sure making it onto layouts, so they can be preserved and shared appropriately. 

Can you believe this is the Typeset paper packet?  LOL!!!

Close To My Heart: Typeset Layouts & H2H Back To School

I was very happy to see that this month's challenge on H2H was "Back To School".  Mary also posted a new layout design, so this month I decided to do both, the layouts with Back To School themed pictures.

For these layouts, the distressing on the edges was made using desert sand ink pad.  Hold the ink pad at an angle and swipe along the edges of the card stock.

For the stars, I used the Vineyard Berry marker's brush tip.  Simply run the brush tip along all the edges of the stars.
