February CC Challenge #4 - Create a scrapbook page or project that showcases someone/something you love! The sky's the limit here, listen to your heart and honor it!
As some of you know I lost my mom just a few days before Christmas...these were some of the photos we used of her in a slide show at her funeral. My daughter asked me if I'd make her a page that we could put into a shadow box with some of her favorite things from grandma. This was a very hard page to make, maybe I wasn't quite ready, I still cry when I look at it, and I had to put it away before it was completed.
The title my daughter picked, which is "Grandma's are just antique little girls" and the journaling aren't on here yet because I just had to step away. I hope you understand that.
Anyway all my sappiness aside, this did help me figure out what I'm doing at a crop next weekend, all we'll do at the crop is the 6 x 6 page, but I'll use this to show how to progress to 8 x 8, then to 12 x 12.
If you got this far, thanks for reading my ramble {{{Hugs, Patty}}}

So sorry to hear about your mom. It will get easier, but so hard at first. I cried everyday for at least a year when mine died. Tears help to wash away the pain. I still miss her so much, but at least I can talk about her now without tears. Hugs to you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my sweet Mom 6 1/2 years ago, and I still miss her so much. The memories are sweet, though, and your beautiful artwork will help to keep those memories close. Hugs to you ~Alicia
