As I have scheduled this to upload on the 15th and the first time I have done this I hope it works, so fingers crossed. The challenge over at Orange Paperie for the month of November set by Jo is a sketch and its a beauty
I can see lots of gorgeous layouts coming from this :) Pop over to Orange Paperie to see the beautiful layouts from the other DT members and our GD the lovely Val Thorpe. So lots of inspiration to get the creative juices flowing.
Also Jo would like you to use fussy cutting or die cuts on your layout, or both if you wish :)
This is my take on the challenge
LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED
I wanted the layout to reflect the things Mum liked ~ the Pretty floral PP, the vintage style washi tape. The bird stamp, Mum loved birds and also signifies that she is now flying free, the roses ~ Mum loved roses and had a beautiful rose garden. The reel of cotton, she was a lovely sewer. Also on the reel of Cotton embellie it say's with love , mending cotton. This signifies our relationship ~ Mum could be quite difficult at times, stubborn, strong minded and said what she thought and boy she could give me the rounds of the kitchen, so even though we loved each other, sometimes the mending cotton was needed. The pretty blue lace down the side is from Mum's laces. And now I am feeling quite emotional I will move onto some close ups
Satin seam binding, bits of braid and little bead bow from Craftqueen
Don't forget to join in on the challenge
I will leave you with a photo of what I did last weekend in practice for what I am doing this weekend ;) that will be revealed next post
Love and Peace

Okay, I love the little criss cross doodle under the photo. Is that a stamp or did you just draw it? Amazing page!
Firstly, I'm with Lisa...stamp or doodle & it looks fabulous, I think it's the contrast to the softness of the page....& that photo!
