Cosmic Sisters

I have been busily scrapbooking pictures from years ago. I hate the idea of working backwards but with life as hectic as ever with 4 kids - you do the best you can.
This is a super sweet layout of my 2 daughters - during one of their "WE LOVE EACH OTHER" moments...let me tell you there aren't many of these nowadays..

I recently went on a bus tour of some scrapbook stores and found this amazing COSMO CRICKET paper - I believe it is called GIRL FRIDAY. It is so vintage in style. Like the 70's sheets and wall paper I used to have in my bedroom - I bought some not thinking about what it is I would use it for (isn't that always the case) but knew I had to have it...So I used a sheet, and the border titles from a coordinating sheet - used some vintage ledger paper I had and a scrap that was laying on my table and sewed a big circle over the background - not really thinking about it.
I then added the photo and the border titles to the bottom half and some PAPER POSIES that I made and a small journaling card - I really wanted to keep with the vintage look and I am super happy with the way it came out.
The best thing about this paper is it is double sided and so tomorrow I will show you the layout on the reverse. I love it when I get things accomplished.
Have a great Sunday with your family.
