I would like to share with you my DT layout for A2Z Scraplets , using the "Life"chipboard piece
This photo just says Sadness to me , it was taken not long after my Husband , his sister and little brother's Mum had passed away.
I checked with my Sister in law if she was OK with me sharing the layout, she was fine with me to do so . After 48 years the emotions are still all there and the layout made her cry, so my journalling is true.
The quote above is also true. They were all very young 15, 13 and 6 and it certainly changed the course of their lives & life was not easy for them. My sister in law at 13 became the mother (as their Dad was a rep and was away a lot) so Sandra, cooked , cleaned washed and got her little brother to school, sport etc . They all have beautiful families of their own now and their Mum would be so proud of them all .
I document these things so as the Grandchildren, Great Grandchildren will know the story of Teresa ,their heritage and Their Mum and Dads Life.
The Flair is from Funky flair Studio and You can find the link to the "Life" Chipboard over at A2Z Scraplets blog post .
We would love you to visit the blog as the DT create lots of inspiration on ways to use the chipboard .
Thank you for calling by, have a wonderful week and remember to take care of each other.
Love, Peace and Kindness

A poignant and important page to scrap, to reflect and to remember. This is why we scrap, so that the tough times and sadness will be honoured, as well as the the good times and the fun. You've done a fantastic job with this Mary.
oh yes life does bring all sorts of moments... sad and happy.. My dad lost his dad when my dad was 4 so his Mum had to raise him and his sisters and manage a farm.. so I understand how precious the photo is and appreciate the feelings the photo brings.. a really lovely layout all the same...
The reason why we scrap. A wonderful page to have in your album for family to read, reflect and remember. xx
