Last week was a tough week as we said good-bye to Scott's Grandma. I loved her just like she was my Grandma, too. I spent alot of time on the layout, as I wanted to include photos from our time with her. It was hard, and it was healing. I didn't use many elements from the Project Life core kit...I wanted to use paper that reminded me of her.
I used quite a few of Ali Edward's Celebration of Life brushes for the photos. I also put the date the photo was taken, as well as any other information I wanted to remember (fonts used are CK Ali's Hand and Traveling Typewriter). Paper is Cosmo Cricket's Early Bird. The Left side:

An up-close photo of the title card:

A close up of one of the cards. Stickers are Cosmo Cricket's Tiny Type.

And the other card. Butterfly is Jenni Bowlin and the acrylic hearts I don't know the source, I've had and saved forever.

Next I used an insert for the Celebration of Life program. On the other side I will be scanning a recipe card in her beautiful handwriting of my husband's favorite cupcakes she made.

The next insert is the obituary from the paper, and the other side will include a copy of the eulogy that my Father-in-law gave.
The next insert is Design F of Becky Higgin's Photo Pocket Pages. I simply cut off the last row as I didn't need that many slots. I inserted more photos, photos of flowers from her funeral, and the Memorial piece. Hoping that my husband will write a favorite memory on the journaling card I left blank.

And the other side. I wrote my feelings, as well as what I wanted my boy's to remember. Another flower photo and a photo of the sunset the night she passed away. The family loved the cross in the sky, welcoming her to heaven.

And the right side. I used Cathy Zielske's Journaling cards again to write 2 or 3 sentences highlighting the week of each family member, as well as a journaling card from Paislee Press to keep track of the boy's basketball games. Basketball Brushes are from this set of Art Warehouse.



Well done, Good and Faithful Servant, well done.
