123 June challenge

This month at 123 challenge blog, the challenge is to be inspired by the following:
This is a nice way to be inspired don't you think? I had a photo of my extended family that they took just prior to Christmas last year (I live away from my family), so it was nice to have this. I have been wanting to scrap it since I received it, so this challenge was just right. 
I created some texture with a stencil and texture paste on a patterned background, then sprayed this with a gold mist. I found some stamps that I overlaid each other with along the sides of the paper. I then used a large foam flower stamp, to which I added some gold embossing powder to give this cool "grungy" look flower. I added some gold washi tape around the border, and stitched around my border. I die cut some feathers in gold cardstock and patterned paper, and stitched down the centre of the gold feathers. I then embossed the word family with the same gold embossing powder. I added a Charms Creations heavenly heart as well. 
I love the way this layout turned out, and I sure hope my family do too. 
Thanks for looking at my layout and any comments you may leave. 
My Family
