This layout is one of my eldest daughter and myself on her 9th birthday. I very rarely have photos of myself, but attempted a selfie for such a special occasion.

YOU & ME

Supplies: The Nifty Pixel | Dreams Come True Digital Kit; Page Drafts Template | Valentine.

NB: The hearts are part of the digital template I used, not part of the kit.

This layout features my grandmother in the sepia photo, at the age of 17. She was a beautiful, funny and strong woman who experienced a lot of hardship. She loved roses and always dressed beautifully. This kit was perfect for her.
