My Beautiful Family Layout by Paige Evans

Here is the finished layout that we made in today's Make with Me Monday featuring patterned paper pentagons! I used my Bungalow Lane collection with American Crafts and added two photos of our family in sunflower fields. The colors of this collection and the fall photos go hand-in-hand. We also learned how to do the chain stitch, embellish tone-on-tone, create a mixed title, and top it all off with a little mixed media! Download all kinds of pentagon templates to use with & without hand stitching and with & without cutting machines HERE.

Here is the video for re-watching and you can find the Make with Me Monday playlist HERE.

PHOTOS: two or three pentagon shaped (about 3" square)
