FS997 - Meant to Be

Photo Details

Poster: nwilliams6

Julie has selected Sara aka Mrs.Q as this week's FS. I was inspired by this fun card in her gallery:

Watermelon Boy by Mrs.Q at Splitcoaststampers

I knew I had a picture of my middle grandson with a slice of watermelon but when I was looking for it, I ran across this picture of my oldest daughter at her wedding and remembered her anniversary is coming up. So I shifted from watermelon to wedding. I kept Sara's button, used paper with dots, kept her layers, and had a main rectangle focal panel - I pretty much changed everything else.

My aunt showed me how to make this cool card design with the flaps and gave me this paper.

I like the addition of the pale blue stripes and the peach to add warmth to the framing of this endearing photo.

I love how you transitioned from one idea to the next. I tend to do that, too. Like, how did I get here?! ;) Now I want to look for pics of my kids with watermelon.

Your daughter will love this!

Just look at all those layers! Great sentiment to go with all the mixing and matching you put together. Of course the photograph is the most important match
