Family and Friends

 It is the Midway Point of the November Challenge at Path of Positivity.  The optional twist for November is Power of Words: Family/Friends.

I have used a digital paper from PixelScrapper.   The images at the top of the page are by Sassy Studio Designs but I'm unsure of the source of the three images at the bottom of the page (they may or may not be by the same artist). Colouring is with copic markers.  I also inked a text stamp and applied that on top of the digital paper.
