I decided to scrap these pictures of my son and my grandma who passed away in Dec.2008. She passed away just a few days before Christmas unexpectedly. She was my last grandparent to pass away and was only able to see my son twice. After she passed away I knew I wanted to scrap the only two pictures I had of her and my son. I printed extra copies but just couldn't get myself to scrap them, until now. Thank you Kathy for this challenge. I can look at these now and not get so sad about her being gone but be happy that she was able to hold my son!!
I loved Joni's layout and lifted most of it! I haven't used paint on a page in a long time so I tried that. I felt like it was a little messy but most got covered up! Thank Joni for the inspiration!
What a lovely layout. I really like the paint you added.
ReplyDeleteMonica, isn't it nice to be given that little push to get this done? You did a wonderful job and can now look back and be joyful that she got to hold your son. I think you did a great job and I love your title work!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to combine the two challenges. I love the layout - you did a great job, and what a great way to memorailize your gandmother and her getting to see your son. I'm sure this is a page he will cherish.
ReplyDeleteOh Monica....PRECIOUS is the perfect word for your layout!! I'm so glad you used this months challenges to document this memory. I need to get some pics of my parents (visiting soon) with my son.... He never knew any of our grandparents..only his own...so I need to be sure to get those pics & scrap them! Thanks to YOU for the inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a precious layout - beautiful phtoographs and lovely journalling.
ReplyDeleteI love combining challenges! I am glad this month's challenge gave you the little push you needed to get these photos scrapped. Your page is a lovely memory captured well.
ReplyDeleteA job well done combining the layouts. I'm glad you were able to use the challenge to get these pictures scrapped and give you a more peaceful feeling in the end.
