Studio Challenges: A Sister is the best kind of friend

Hello and welcome! Today's layout is part of the new challenge at Studio Challenges: Use a Quote. 

I went "backwards" to make this layout. First, I really wanted to use this new pack by Pinkfresh. Then I went hunting for the right photo to use with it. Finally - the title or quote to go with it.

This is my sister wearing her wedding dress. I was the photographer and together we got some fabulous shots of both her inner beauty and outer beauty. She is my best friend and I would not be the person I am today without her.

When you first look at Pinkfresh's Indigo Hills line, you don't think "wedding photos". But with my sister, it was perfect. It's trendy, has touches of pink everywhere without being gaudy, and still embraces the sensitive side of photos. Note: I don't sell or design for Pinkfresh but have definitely fallen in love with their paper lines.

Thanks for stopping by today!!!!

This flower is handmade from a paper line that's so old I don't remember the name.
It's funny how trends and patterns make the go around over time.

I used a blend of Pinkfresh letters for the title. I'm not sure it's a new trend, but
it's definitely new to me to make a layout this way. I usually don't "mix it up".

Pinkfresh - Indigo Hill's paper pack
