Cara is hosting this month's challenge at Scrapping Everyday Miracles with the theme of scrapping about your "Family Ties". The definition of Family is up to you. There are the family you are born into, your family at church or work or dear friends that have become family.
The twist this month is to use ribbon on your layout. Get it.."ties"? Wicked cute.
Here is my inspiration layout:
Using the October ScrapThat! kit, I created a layout about the miracle that has occured in my family in the face of something awful. Many of you know, my sweet niece, Vivien:
 |
| Vivi's 2nd Birthday |
The last 2 years, a growing group of Vivien's family and friends gather to raise funds for CF research by participating in the Great Strides fundraiser. Our team,"Viver's Givers" has raised over $30,00 in 2 years!Alhough we wish CF was not a part of our lives, the annual get together is a testimony to the amazing power of love and dedication.
Our "Team" family consists of Viv's parents,Grandparents, Aunts,Uncles, cousins and many family friends of all of us. We don our Tee-shirts and do our part to help Vivi and the thousands of others with CF. I am so grateful to know all of Vivi's extended family and so proud to be a part of this "team."
So..enough about me..what is your miracle? How do you define "family"? We would love to see your creation (don't forget to include the twist!) and you could win this awesome prize!
