In May, I have been doing some pages about my past and a LOT of pages about my father's past. Daddy has a big birthday coming up soon and I'm working on a mini album about his life.
These are two of the layouts I have completed. My May newsletter will have a special video:

For the background of the Family page, I used light modeling paste and a Jenni Bowlin stencil. Since the album is my father, I want to add some embellishment and interest without making it too feminine. Using stencils and ink or modeling paste is working well to add texture to the pages.
I've still got a few pages to finish up. The project is moving along. Thanks for visiting today!
Beautiful pages and such a wonderful idea for a gift, Lisa!
