Strong Roots Layout

I love these family photos that were taken this spring with my parents and sister. This page is a little tribute to how much their support has meant to me throughout my life.  It's Mini-Virtual Scrapbook Night at Splitcoast Stampers, so I took Lela's challenge to use 4 items from her list plus 1 technique and incorporate them into my layout. The items I chose were: felt, ribbon, a swirl, 4+ patterned papers, and metal embellishments (that's 5, but hopefully it's okay). My technique was distressing. Paper Secrets' May Stash Challenge was to use only scraps and old embellishments on your layout, so I dove into my stash and found the Back Country papers and My Stickease, plus the felt swirl which I had totally forgotten about.
