Hi everyone, with Mother's Day right around the corner, I thought I would do a layout this week paying respect to this lovely woman who recently went on to be the Lord! She is my husband's Grandmother, and I have had the pleasure of loving her for over thirty years!
I picked one of the sentiments from Yvonne's Everyday Quotes 1 sets "She has fire in her soul and grace in her heart" to Title this layout, as it is the perfect way to describe Grandma May. She spent everyday of her life motivating those around her, but the words on her tongue were always singing the praises of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The sentiment was added with gold embossing powder so that it shines bright on the layout. The gold also works nicely with the foiling accents in the ephemera from the paper collection.
Granny loved her flower gardens, and she was laid to rest on Earth Day this year. I wanted lots of flowers to frame her photograph.
I used papers and ephemera from American Crafts. The ephemera is Jen Hadfield, Home Made, and the papers are Dear Lizzy's Saturday collections Central Park and Skyline.
Here is a quick video sharing how I created the layout.
When we lose someone we love, it can be difficult. But I am always thankful that I have photos to reflect back on those happy memories that we have shared with them in the past. Thank you all for sharing this moment with me today. I encourage you to hug someone special, and snap a photo of them. Then pull out a paper collection, and create a layout.
