A Sister...

I'm sharing something a little different in this post.  I love creating cards, which is what I usually share on my blog.  But, every once in a while I enjoy putting together a photo/stamped collage.  Well, actually, I LOVE creating these!  It feels like a very personal gift to give, and I put a lot of thought (and time) into creating it.  I probably get as much joy out of creating the gift, as the recipient gets receiving it.
This is a gift for some friends of my husbands family.  They recently had their second child, so they now have 2 daughters.  I wanted to focus on the relationship of sisters, not just on the new baby.  So...this is what I created:

Just click on any photo to see a larger version.


The finished project measures 12" x 12".


This project is going into the following challenges:
