Ma
This is a layout I did for a challenge over at Soul Scrappers http://soul-scrappers.ning.com/ It is a photo of my Grandmother Edith Jane Madden or Ma as we used to call her. I have hidden journalling that basically says that unfortunately my Memory of Ma is a Cranky Old Lady that used to poke me with her walking stick. (Ma used to live with us when she was very old and I was only a young girl) Also I have a memory of running down to get the mail at her house "The Glen" I had a hat on with a tassel on the top and I was swishing my head back and forth pretending it was a pony tail and a magpie swooped down and pecked me on the head! I used to like going up the paddock to my Uncle Harry's and Auntie Molly's (My Mum's brother) and feeding the lambs with Milk in a bottle with a teat. Auntie Molly had curly hair. I remember I liked them . So that is the memories I have connected to my Grandmother. It's good to document them as otherwise they would be lost, even though I don't have a lot of memories from my childhood its good to get down the threads we have and it's all part of our life story.
The PP is Kaiser the range is called "Sweet nothing Collection" The chippy is from Scrapmatts, I made the flowers with Satin Seam binding from Craftqueen http://www.craftqueen.com.au/, also from Craftqueen, the little blue and yellow rosettes, and the blue lacy edging ribbon and the yellow ribbon, I have used Kaiser pearl brads for the centre of my flowers, Hat pin from Tattered Inspirations, http://tatteredinspirations.blogspot.com/, Lace around bust found at my Mum's, Lace in bottom right hand corner from the going away top I wore on my Wedding Day. I have also used Prima Packaging at the side of the photo. So that's it. Thanks for popping by, it is a rainy, windy , miserable day here, perfect for scrapbooking :)
Hope your week is fabulous, thanks for popping by
