October Challenge by Karen Williams
Reader Karen Williams submitted her layout "The gathering storm" for the October THAT Project Challenge. She said, "when my Nan went into the hospital it was soon clear she wasn't coming home. She was paralysed by the tumour on her spine and they could do nothing about it. It got harder to get her out of bed and outside the hospital. I remember one day in August when we managed to get her outside into the hospital garden. We could hear the storm approaching, the sky darkening and the rain coming. We wanted to take her back in, But she made us wait until it rained. She wanted to feel it on her face for one last time.
Now it's your turn to take the THAT project challenge. See all the details in the October Challenge below. And don't miss our Pagerize This Challenge - details are below.

ReplyDeleteWhat a touching story. You page really makes it hit home and I can empathize with you. There is a serenity in the green color with the red seeming to hint at the change and heightened emotion. Gorgeous page!
ReplyDeletethat story is really touching. i bet it was very emotional to scrap that page. i love how you chose to put bold colors onto your page, even though it was about the storm and the picture was mainly gray. well done.
