What Family Means to Me... and a free template!

I'm on the Pixel Gypsy site creative team, and we've been doing a series of All About Me challenges every week. Anyone can join in at any time! You can find out more about the AAM challenges here.

This week we will be doing a page about what our family means to us. I thought about this for a while, and finally came up with the concept for my layout. Family means unconditional love to me. No matter what I do and where I am, I love my family always, and they feel the same about me. The love is also endless, like a circle.

So with that in mind, I set to work and created this.

Now that you've made it this far, I'd like to offer you a layout template that I made from my layout. You can download it here. (Another link here if you encounter bandwidth issues with the first link.) Please remember it's for personal use only, and to credit "Christine Newman" or "supertwinkle" if you post your layout in public galleries. Please don't redistribute the template. You can simply refer your friends to my site here. :)
