My Greatest Achievement


Keeping  my little family happy, healthy and together is my greatest achievement.  I was trying to think of exactly what I thought my greatest achievement was when I got the October "Achievement" kit from Scrapbooking From The Inside Out , and then I came across this family photo and I knew.  Being a family in the world we live in today can sometimes feel like war, or at least like being under attack.  When I was looking at the argyle paper I kept seeing the diamonds and I thought I would cut them out and use them to make a flower, but then when I was laying them next to each other I noticed they were making a chevron pattern and my heart skipped lol.  I used the diamonds I cut out of the argyle paper as a pattern to trace and cut the other papers.  Thanks for looking and have a great day!
