Twelve Stones Scrapbooking: SEM Challenge #22 Family Ties

?Hello blogger friends!

?

I'm here today with this month's Scrapping Everyday Miracles?challenge. The theme this time around is Family Ties and the scrap twist is to add some ribbon to your layouts.

I thought long and hard about this layout. Although I have an amazing immediate family, I wanted to do something a little different. As I was thinking about what photo to use, I got hungry and headed to the kitchen where I saw the perfect photo taped on the fridge. I come from a huge family and on my mom's side we make it a priority to get together as much as possible. Every September we have a reunion with at least 70 of us together for the long week-end. I have family that come as far as North Carolina and even Yukon! My kids only have 4 immediate cousins on my side but with the extended cousins, it's crazy how many kids are running around!

This photo is such a great reminder of how truly blessed we are. So many families rarely see each other. I cherish my time with these family members, especially those that I only see once a year.

For this layout I choose this funky kit from

Doodlebug. I thought it was perfect for these silly girls having so much fun. I love the little

piece of ribbon all bunched up with Doodlebug

twine.

Won't you join me for this month's challenge. I'd love to see what you come up with. When you do, make sure to link up with Scrapping Everyday Miracles!
