LOVE THAT SMILE ~ ARCHISCRAPS APRIL CHALLENGE
Good Morning ! another month has flown by, which means lots of new challenges.
Today I am sharing my DT layout for Archiscraps which is to use sewing on your layout.
and here is my take
Love that smile
My beautiful Grandmother , whom was fondly known by all as Mum Coyte. I have lovely memories of Mum Coyte. She had a happy disposition , I never saw her angry. One of my favourite memories is that she would always come to wave us off and I can still see her standing at the gate in her apron and stripy socks . She had a lolly jar on top of the fridge, that my Father always headed to. I loved visiting her ( she lived not far from us) . We called in every Sunday after 8am mass and cooked toast in the fire on a folk, good times. She raise 9 children in a tiny little home, but filled with love.
Sadly I don't have memories of Dad Coyte as he died from a heart attack quite young watching a football match.
I have messy sewed around the edge of my layout to create a border.
The photo is a little grainy of my Grandmother, but it captures her happy spirit.
Hope you have a lovely weekend and make happy memories, and if you have some creative time, we would love you to join us at Archiscraps this month, if you pop over to the blog you can see who our GD is this month and also see what prize is up for grabs :)
Love, Peace and Kindness

Oh thank you for sharing about your Grandmother, she sounds like a very special lady.. I know we all miss our Grandmas... I love these papers and so i love how you have used them on this special layout... I love messy sewing on layouts.. a beautiful inspiration for this challenge.. and yes.. just how did we get to april already???
It's such a happy photo...you're right. Really captures your Grandma's spirit, I reckon. LOVE your little ripped bits and the collection of words around the photo....& the sewing looks awesome!!
A heartwarming layout about a special person. I enjoyed reading bout popping in after Mass to make toast and have a yarn. The watercolour feel to the paper is lovely with the soft photo and I get a sense of her strength and happiness by your memories of her. Lovely stuff - this is why we scrap - so that the next generation will know what wonderful ancestors they had.
