Just Us Girls - Photo and Simon Says - Sparkles- Colour Create Challenge


I came across this photo of my twin brother and I when we were little... and how could I resist not using it on a Christmas card to him... hopefully it will make him smile as I know it did I for making it.


We lost our sister a few years ago so to me.. photos are very important for our memories.


I used a Canon paper  here for this in a lovely muted blue.. Added some silver glitter and ribbon.. oh and some blue gems.  Again a male card so don't want to go to over the top.  Also a little sentiment in the corner with some holographic tape.


Thank you for looking... it qualifies for.

Jacqui - I love this! What a WONDERFUL trip down memory lane in such a fun way. I may just dig through my old box of family photos and do something similar - it's a great personalized card that I'm sure your brother will LOVE.

Oh this is so sweet! Love the two of you kissing! I had a brother 9 years older than me and we were very close. He died 12 years ago from liver cancer and I miss him dearly...he was my only sibling. I know your brother will appreciate this! Have fun with Kristin's free digital set!
