I decided to use the fun and colourful 'Oh My Heart' collection by Paige Taylor Evans, with this precious photo of my parents, taken recently on a family walk.

As you all know, I absolutely love fussy cutting, and there's some awesome papers in this collection just made for this purpose!

For the title I used gold acetate Heidi Swapp words, and I thought the title was perfect, because I really am thankful for every day with my parents and family, especially since they moved close to us last year. There's many more of the precious moments and good times together.

I don't often use multiple photos on a layout so I was scratching my head, until I remembered these photo strips I had printed a little while ago. Perfect! 

I rotated the sketch 90 degrees clockwise to fit my photo strip in, and I used one of the new Crate Paper collections, Oasis. 

This went perfectly with my photos - I have very fair skin and burn just looking at the sun usually, but I always end up with a flip-flop tan on my feet just from doing the school runs in the summer! 

The beautiful tropical floral swag die cut is a free Paper Issues cut file designed by Stacie. 

Stacie is so clever and designs tons of cut files to match up with current paper collections, and they're all free on the Paper Issues website!
