Today I would like to share a layout for the ChallengeYourself challenge
It's all about the girls this month here at Challenge YOUrself. In celebration of Mother's Day on May 11th, we want to see all things motherhood!
Challenge YOUrself #6:
 |
| With this sketch, scrap about YOU and a female (or females) in your life. She can be a daughter, sister, friend, mother, grandmother, pet, etc. |
Motherhood comes in all kinds of shapes and forms so be creative and have fun!
So naturally I was going to scrap my Mum or my daughter , but since scrapping about my Grandmothers home recently, I guess it has had my thinking about her and I decided to scrap about My Grandmother. I only seem to have one photo of us together & it is at my wedding. I also now realize how lucky I was to have had my Grandmother at my wedding , as by the end of that year she was no longer with us.
Emma Jane Coyte ~ know by all as Mum Coyte was an amazing lady. She raised 9 children in a very modest home. I don't think she even ventured to far from the little Village Borenore where we lived. Some of her children moved to Sydney etc when they married , so maybe she visited them at some stage (something for me to find out)
To me she was always there, happy and lived for her family.
I am pretty sure this photo was taken after I had been dancing up a storm, so looking all hot (as not in a good way hot lol)
I have used the film strip washi on my photo to hide the arms of the people that were standing behind us in the photo.
Products used ~ Kaiser Butterfly mask and doily mask , film strip & word washi from Marally Craft. I have also scattered little gems and sequins from StudioFourteen40. Blue/Green floral Washi from Craftqueen . I am Having fun using stamps ( something I am trying to do more of) and the gorgeous circle die was a RAK from Alison Bevis, Love it!
Thanks so much for popping by, wishing all the Mothers a Beautiful Mothers day and if you still have your Grandmothers and Mums with you , treasure them because one day we wish they were still here.
Love and Peace

Another gorgeous page Mary. It surely was special to have your Grandmother at your wedding. Lovely texture with the butterfly mask and the black frame draws the eye to the lady of the moment. :D
Oh my, oh my! Looks so good! So much to look at! Glad you joined us at Challenge YOUrself <3
Another beautiful memory Mary. Lovely background & don't you just find washi tape so handy at times?! I too had my grandma at our wedding . She did a reading for us at the church. And I was lucky enough to have her know her great children as well. We miss her dearly. I love the softness of this page as well xx
Lovely layout! Love the masking! And what a special photo too! And I still have my Mum but no grandmas.
Oh Mary! This is simply gorgeous! I love how you did your background and all of your special touches, but especially like the wonderful photo!

Fabulous Mary. What a great story! What a clever way to hide the arms of the people in the photo.
...& Amen to that sentiment - I was lucky to have BOTH grandmothers & one grandfather at my first wedding...adore your butterflies...that circle die is totally DELISH, too!!! Lovely, lovely work:):)
Grandmothers always have a special place in the hearts of their grandchildren, always so pleased to have family around them! Beautiful page and do many gorgeous elements, especially the flourish circle. Thanks for playing along with us again this month at Challenge Yourself. xx

I think it was a wonderful idea to use the washi to hide the other people in the photo! With the black frame around the photo makes it look perfect. So glad you had time to join us at Challenge YOUrself!

such creativity in your background! I didn't even notice the washi tape on your photo!
