This is my friend Joy's grandma and grandpa, this photo just screamed to be scrapped!


I did one little recoloring of a ribbon in Lara Payton's Amid Memories kit to match grandma's dress, I think it looks great!

One of my very favorite pics of my grandparents, they look like they're having so much fun. This is just one pic from a box full of photos I'm trying to catch up with.


Kit is the absolutely gorgeous Amid Memories by Lara Payton, I can tell you right now I'll be building many, many pages with this kit (there's like a million papers and elements, seriously!!)

Journaling reads:
I asked my mother, pictured here, what she could tell me about this photo. I know journaling is supposed to be informative, but the only thing she knew for sure was that it was taken on a family trip to a resort one summer. What I do know is she looks like she’s having fun, and staying cool by the pool!

Journaling reads:
This is my grandmother’s baby grand piano. She loved it, and was so proud of it. My mother learned on this piano, and practiced songs to play for her students at school. This is also the piano I learned on. Soon, it will be my daughter’s piano and she will play it, too. Grandma, if you’re watching, you’ll be even more proud to know that this tradition you started will continue.

Here's a layout with a photo from my grandmother's collection. She gave me this giant shoebox shortly before she died filled with photos of her and my grandfather and my mom. There was maybe one or two photos of me LOL. Though I'm sad that I don't know the stories of lots of these pictures (and in fact, I'm just guessing at the date) I loved my grandmother dearly and really want to create some pages to show how awesome she was to my daughter.


This photo seemed perfect for this kit, it's been sitting in my to-do pile near my scanner for a while, but this Design Team Challenge to really try and do my best brought out what I thought was my best photo, too. And darn it, wasn't my grandma cool?
