Layouts using the New Kaiser Miss Empire and On this Day Ranges

Hello peoples

I am a very lucky girl as Allyson from Marally Craft gave me these two gorgeous ranges to do some layouts for the shop. The on this day range is so soft and pretty and Miss Empire is right up my ally as it is perfect for heritage pages.
So first the On this Day Range. I made a little bouquet of flowers with tulle and Satin Seam Ribbon
The photos are a little damaged which is a shame. Some washi tape from Craftqueen 






Now the Miss Empire Range
Once again the satin seam binding from Craftqueen, I love the versatility with this product, you can do so much with it, Make lovely soft bows , wet it and scrunch it, make flowers, pleat it and it comes in an array of colours. The words are from scrapmatts,  they have the most gorgeous products



added some texture paste and brushed pan pastel over it to add some colour

My Mum is the the one with dark hair and I think quite a looker. The light green behind is Prima packaging, I always save it as it is to nice to throw out and always comes in handy




The journalling is tucked in the side




I think I am compelled to scrap these old photo's as Mum passed away a few months ago and My Dad 5 years ago and I am the only girl ( boys don't tend to worry about these things) so If I don't tell their story, it will eventually be lost forever. A tip that I need to heed myself ~ write on the back of your photo's the who, what , when. I have a lot of photo's that I don't know who it is in them , let alone the story :( I know even with my travel photo's I have forgotten the name of some of the villages ( because I don't heed my own advice!)
It's been a rather long post , so you have done well if you are still with me. Thank you for calling by and I really appreciate your comments. Don't forget to visti Color Me Scrappy who has a new challenge posted and Orange Paperie will have the new challenge up on the 5th, so we would love you to join us :)
Have a fabulous weekend
Love , Peace and Sunshine

Love what you have created, Mary..... And so true we need to tell the story. Hope you have a lovely weekend :)

Love this Mary and you're right, Scrapbooking reminds us that we must document details on our photos, it's even harder now that we have digital cameras.

Don't know where to start...saw this on FB, but it's great to see the detail here...that 'frame' at the top of the main photo looks really elegant..love the ribbon & your journaling. It's going to be a lovely collection of pages you'll have on your Mum...a VERY special family heirloom for once the kids get older & realise the importance of it all...you're sooo right...we forget the details quickly -even if we think we won't!! Have a great weekend:):)
