I have been seriously missing my mojo of late and finding it difficult to have the energy or desire to scrap. I am hoping it is only because of the tummy bug I have atm. But yesterday I decided to pick out a photo I have been wanting to scrap and just start and Focus as Lizzy told me .
I am entering this in the sketch challenge at Home and Scrapped. Home and Scrapped is a lovely community on facebook , a lovely bunch of gals, that make you feel , well right at home. :)
So this is the sketch.
and here is my take. I have only used one photo, but never the less used the sketch as my inspiration
Making Memories
Back in the day , the photographs were very small and I wasn't sure who was in this photo. I was thrilled when I enlarged it to find my Mum is the girl second from the right looking at the photo. I don't know about you , but I find it hard to think of my Mum as being young and carefree. So I really wanted to scrap this pic, not sure who the others are in the photo, I will have to try and find out. I think my Mum was really pretty when she was young, but I am bias.
My friend Jo gave me the lovely big brown flower and the handmade flowers are made by the talented Heather Waldron. Rosettes, Satin Seam binding and square pearl embellies are from CraftQueen. Chippy words are from Scrapmatts.
I have use the Kaiser Rustic Heritage range of papers.
I also love adding Mum's old threads to my layouts. I have used texture and distress inks as well,
Thank you for calling by, we would love to see you join in the community over at Home and Scrapped.
Love , Peace and Happiness

Well this layout does not look like your mojo is lacking in any way.. it is beautiful.. and those old photos are so precious too.. love the flower cluster.. and yes my Mum was a stunning young woman too and still is in my eyes!!
See, getting in the zone is all you need- love your choice of pp's for this page....& the twine & little scallop edge up top? GORG additions:) Your Mum looks LOVELY here:):)
A gorgeous photo & you've created a beautiful page to showcase it Mary. I just love old photos & like you, I find it hard to imagine my parents as very young. Although mine are only now in their 70s. So glad you found a spot for one of the flowers I sent you too. Your pp is so pretty. Hope you are feeling better soon. Xx
