Family

I have been searching for a "family" sign or vinyl "family" wall decor to hang with my family tree.  Sadly Alaska is limited and I haven't been able to find anything I like.  However, while I was meandering through JoAnne's the other day I found a little wooden "family" that I actually liked.  So I decided to go with it and build on it. I found an 11x14 painters canvas and some acrylic paints on sale.  I also bought a crackle medium to add some texture to the wooden "family" sign.  I used the same fabric I used on parts of my Family Tree as the background. Here are a few during pictures.

And here are the after pictures. I like how it turned out, although I'm not very good at the whole straight line thing:~)
