Scrap Dragons - Challenge # 3: Mixing it Up

Click on image for a larger view.

I really enjoyed this challenge and still can't believe that I got a decent photo of all of our hands considering one girl is 21 months and the other is 4 weeks. Thanks, Mom!

So how did I use the three inspiration elements? The flowers and sewing tie back to Carla's layout. The photo of the hand sparked an idea to photograph our family's hands and the fabric swatch led me to use fabric on my layout. The enlarged photograph was printed on fabric and then sewn on the layout. I printed the image in black and white to mimic the colour scheme of the fabric swatch. Small photos of my family, taken from index prints, are scattered around the layout so that the photo of the hands is tied back to the people in the picture.

Thanks for the great challenge!!
