Isn't the weather gorgeous today? At least it is where I live! I love that I can see the sun! It was cooler and rainy this past week but now the temperature is rising again.
Well, I was working on a layout of Mom yesterday when the postman brought my LE kit from My Creative Scrapbook. It is loaded with papers from Prima's Annalee collection. When I saw this blue
paper with the floral edge, I thought WOW that would go great with Mom's photo!! So I changed horses in mid-stream and now I'm not sure whose photos will grace my other page! LOL Maybe I will scrap this photo a second time! Actually, that would be a third time! I scrapped it once when I first started scrap booking and my style has really changed since then.
Almost all of my trims, flowes and embellies came from the kit. I did use some K and Company butterflies and dragonfly. And a few miscellaneous blooms and stones. The journaling was actually from one of the pieces of patterned paper in a straight line across the page. I cut it out and then cut it into pieces, inked it and put it on my page. It says "Memories like a fresh breeze wisp through my mind warming my heart and refreshing my soul." The memories keep me going on those days when grief feels so new again. I love how young Mama looks here .. all of 15 years old!
Okay, I am going to post this and then go see about getting some dinner together for my hubby! Have a fab weekend if you can. And remember those who lost loved ones 9 years ago today.

ReplyDeleteYour mom was so photogenic and so pretty too. This is another of your amazing and stunning layout Sandi. It is fascinating how all our styles have changed over time, I think it is through knowledge of products and how to use them and definately confidence.
