This is my last layout for the tribute album I’m making of my husband’s mother. Now all I need to do is buy the album, print the pages, and decorate that album. I love decorating those albums. My favorite thing to do is get mulberry paper and wrap it around the album. I’m kind of thinking of using actual material around the album this time.

This layout was a bit difficult when I did the wordart. I wanted something that spoke about family. I couldn’t find any so I tried to make up a quote. The quote “The Family ties that bind” is meant to be good but instead people feel it’s bad. They think of a bind instead of a bond. So I came up with “The Family ties that bind are the family ties that bond.” I sent out a preview to the team I’m on and received both positive feedback and negative (nothing bad, just that it still felt like a bad quote). Since this is going to be a layout given to family, I didn’t want any negative thoughts associated with the memories of this woman. So I “scrapped” the whole thing and started over. I actually found the quote I used on the internet but no name was associated with it. Scroll down to see my layout and to get copies of both pieces of wordart.
