Another Family Ties

This is my husband at our wedding. This is the front cover of his oldest daughter's "junk mail" album. That's right we're using that highly useful junk mail envelopes as the base for the album. I made it using my counterfeit kit and for the I wish I was "In Shape" challenge with a large cardboard circle under the picture. The artist Two Dogs' layout "Butterflies" was AGAIN the inspiration.

This month Two Dogs AKA Toni is the muse of the month at Pages In Times. So I made this page for the Scraplift the Muse challenge.

It is also a part of the Daily Encouragement challenge based on the June 20th directions:
