Memories layout

This month got off to a rocky start. My husband's grandmother died very quickly. We had two trips to country Queensland in a week to say our goodbyes and then to farewell her with a beautiful graveside and church services.

My family does crazy pretty well by now. This isn't the first family funeral I've been to! I took pictures to remember the day by and made this layout to feature them. Scrapbooking a funeral might sound a bit morbid to you. To me, it's a family occasion that should be remembered for what it is, saying our earthly goodbyes to our beloved Nanni.


Out of respect for the clan, I've not put the completed layout up to view. Grief is a very private matter and it's not my place to share such moments publicly without permission.

To make this layout I've used the following materials. Falling For You paper packet, Basics cardstocks, White Daisy cardstock, Trimmer, Versamat, Adhesive Runner, Ruler, Make It From Your Heart volume 2 pattern 7.

Welcome Home

Does anything say "Welcome Home!" more than a stunning wreath on your front door?
January is National Papercrafting Month. We don't just do cards or pages, we also do "off the page" projects! Most people put a pretty wreath on their front door for Christmas. The holidays are over and it's time to swap out your decor!

For January only, you can create this beautiful piece of home decor to adorn your home. I have mine on the inside of my front door. If you're getting married this year, this is for you! Whip one up and display at your ceremony or reception to welcome your guests, then put it in your new home as a lasting reminder of your big day! If you're pregnant or have just had a baby, this would be oh so sweet in your bub's nursery! Or, why not create this for a milestone anniversary? The options are endless.


The best part of this kit is not only do YOU decide where to place the succulents and greenery, you pick the wording! First name, last name, a greeting, a blessing, you choose! It's really easy to put together. Don't believe me? Watch this quick video!



There are four ways you can get the wreath kit:
  1. Buy it for $28.50—no qualifying purchase required!

Wedding!

I'm here in Seattle, wedding #1 of 2 is over. Soooooooooooo much fun being a bridesmaid again!
Bridesmaid huddle around the bride.
Rachel seeing her bouquet for the first time! Her florist did such a good job. Just gorgeous!
My groomsman Dex and I doing a quick practice run down the aisle.
I asked the bride if she was ok with me having my babies represented on my bouquet. She was. I wrapped my Midnight Orange butterfly necklace around my bouquet just above the twine handle. I tried to make sure in each shot that my babies could be seen.
The Bridal Party.
The photographers mixed us up. :p

We're here in the US for another 2 weeks. When I get home, I'm going through my entire 8gig SD card of photos and editing them. Then I'm using the brand new Picture My Life™ For Always Scrapbooking Program, the Woodgrain Embossing Folder, some smokey plum, slate, black, white daisy, and chocolate cardstocks and inks to scrapbook this big day!
