Ties That Bind *GCD Studios June Theme*

Hi all!! Our GCD Studios theme for June was based on ties. With a son named, Ty, this theme was a perfect fit for me. Here is my project:

The photo on the layout has always been a favorite of mine. It was taken when Ty was just eight years old. When I look at it I see so much. I see him as a boy wanting to be a missionary for our church, I see him today fulfilling that dream and serving as a missionary in Spokane, Washington and I see him in the future becoming a righteous husband and father. I see the ties that bind us together as a forever family. It was a very meaningful thing for me to create this layout. It all started here with this inspiration piece:

I love the subtle masculine look that these GCD Studio papers provided. Here are some close ups of the project:



I hope you enjoy this month with the ties that bind you to those you love. Hugs, Cheryl

  4. What an amazing layout! Not only is it beautiful, but so sentimental. I truly believe that these are the kinds of layouts that leave a legacy. I know our children and their children will enjoy the birthday and Christmas layouts, but it's the ones like these, that share feelings and emotion, that they will treasure. Beautiful job!
