Julianna. . . .

Here is your layout. In real life there is a fun glittery look to it. . .just doesn’t show up in the photo. I have to say I’m having so much fun with these layouts.Just a note for my scrapping friends about these wall layouts. . . .I cut a piece of foam core to put behind the textured background so that when it hangs on the wall it stands out a bit. On the back of the foam I put 15-20 Scotch Clear Mounting Squares. They don’t ruin the wall and they hold things up very well if you use enough. Then on a few smaller areas (like the flowers on this layout) I put some pop dots behind the background sheet. The pop dots I have are safe for your wall (sorry that I don’t know the brand) and they help it stand out evenly. Another thing to note about wall layouts is that because of the vertical pull, you need a very strong tape. I use a knock-off brand of Wonder Tape. Stitching things together, attaching with brads or eyelets are also good options. And of course with wall layouts, you can add as much dimension as you would like. My wall layouts are one of my most-commented-on décor. Can you tell I love these things? So fun!

That is way cute! So do you mod podge over everything so it is dust resistant or not? A couple of the frames I just didn't have glass and I wondered how the papers inside would fare. But it is just paper and easy to replace so I'm not worried. I just wondered how photos do if they aren't sealed or covered in some way....?

My mom is trying to update the Bingham link book for the family reunion. Could you please email with any updates? Emails, address, phone numbers, birthdays of kids, etc. I will get the information to my mom.
Thanks,
Malita
Also, could you pass this on to all of your siblings?

Random comment Darcee. So, i was looking for AI's Brooke White Songs from the Attic album on itunes and saw another album w/the same title, but artist was JaNae Kotter. Our classmate.
yes, did you know she was a singer/songwriter?

Hmmm. . .didn't know that about JaNae. . . so a little googling let me know that she is a local to me and would explain why I saw her from a distance at Wal-Mart once. I took drivers ed with her :).

Also, Katie, I guess I haven't ever worried about dust on the layouts. . .just dust them with a feather duster and I will probably change mine every year or so.
