Family Layouts

Today, I'm sharing two layouts I created recently that showcase family. I love creating these types of layouts not only because they feature my favorite people, but because you can get creative with the design since you're not focusing on a "theme." I tend to do lots of theme- and event-type layouts, so this is a nice change for me.

First up, I created this layout of two of my brothers (I have four brothers and two sisters!).

The awesome star background is similar to this one, and it's another cut file I created for my Silhouette as part of a Kerri Bradford class. (Love her classes!) I also cut the star circles, gears, and Brothers title with my Silhouette. The paper and embellishments are all just random pieces from my stash.

I love it!

Next up, this bright layout featuring a photo collage I printed from Lightroom. I left white spaces for a few of the photo spots so I could add embellishments in place of the photos.

Again, I used my Silhouette to cut out the paper pieces - the flowers, houses, swirls, and title. I also used my Kiwi Lane border templates to create the layered background. The papers are mostly SEI - I've had these in my paper stash forever and I'd been looking for an excuse to use them. Love these colors.

Have you created any family-themed layouts lately? I would love to see them...please share them here!

Stay crafty!
