I was also inspired by the mauve
This is my take
Remember
Do you sometimes question why you do what you do ? I know I do . I think why am I doing this , spending hours doing layouts, collecting stash , because it's oh so pretty and lovely and I must have it. Who is going to want all these layouts where I am no longer here. And then there is the storage , layouts and albums taking over my cupboards.
When I completed this layout I felt happy. This is my mother in law. Sadly I never met Teresa as she died when she was very young. So this is why I do this, that Future generations will always remember. I have been told about her and we have made sure she is not forgotten in our children's lives and so I do this for the future generations, so that Teresa will always be remembered.
Still must say thank you to Wilma for the gorgeous flowers. The Flair is from StudioFourteen40, I thought it went well with the flowers on Teresa's dress. I used a Damask stencil on my page and then lots of mists, aqua crayons and aqua pencils. Sequins and stamping. Some thread around my photo.
A Damask stamp.
I also used lots of old Kaiser brads.
Thank you for popping by and now I go and start another layout , that I have ideas in my head for
Hope you are enjoying your weekend
Love , Peace and Happiness

I really like the background you done in this page & the colours. This is exactly why we do what we do & this is a perfect example of how important it is to record these memories.
That 'damask' bg is AMAZING....totally LOOOOVE it & the colours are soooo pretty....your flowers are, as always, just perfect......& yup! I think my attic is going to be groaning under the weight of heavy albums. Unless the cockroaches decided to munch away....!!!!!
Amazing project. I love details and colors used. Thanks for staying at sketchabilities.

Oh my goodness. Your post brought tears to my eyes. Teresa will surely be remembered especially after being on your very special layout! I love your take on this sketch, too, Mary! So gorgeous! Thanks for sharing this with all of us! HUGS!
Maryyyyy, when I was looking at your layout I did not realise I was on your blog!!! :) First when I read the story and saw my name , I thought, oh right this is MARY! love your layout , it is soft and fragile. And yes, you are so right about keeping memories this way. You know, I am also a bit unsure what will ever happen with the layouts I make, but he.......perhaps they end somewhere between stuff and a future generation takes one out one time. Today one of my sons said to me, why dont you make nice scrapbooking pages anymore, only funny paintings (I never show my "funny"paintings to the world, but yes, I make them) Ans I thought , he they never say something about my layouts , but perhaps they DO love them. So I will return to it, since I still love working around a picture. long story, sorry. And he.....Thank you for playing with us at Scrapki/Wyzwaniowo. xxxxxxxxxxx
