I would like to share with you today a layout I created of me and my grandmother. The photo was taken at my son's 1st birthday party about 3 years ago. This was the last photo we took together before she had a stroke. The stroke took a toll on her but I thank the Lord that she is alive. Okay enough enough, let's move on to the description of my layout...lol!
I am entering Color Me Scrappy#32 and C'est Magnifique Kits challenge.C'est Magnifique Kits has monthly sketch challenges which I love! Here are the sketches:
Here is my layout:
I first white washed the edges of my paper and photo with vanilla craftsmart paint and water. I then used a damask mask and all purpose stucco to give some dimension to my layout.
I tore some pages from an old book and some brown Recollections cardstock to mat my photo. I fussy cut some doillies from My Mind's Eye Love Me collection. I also used some paper from My Mind's Eye Lost & Found II Breeze collection.
I used some flowers from my stash as well as some handmade ones. I used my Ek Success decco flower edge punch...I believe that's the name of it. I also die cut some flourishes using my Sizzix Flourish #9 die. I stamped the birdcage with a Ditto stamp. I tore the side of the page, rolled it back, and stuck some Hobby Lobby lace in there. My title letters came from Studio G, Colorbok, and American Crafts. I also used buttons, pearls, and a handmade stick pin.

A beautiful layout of you and your grandmother, the flower cluster is so pretty. I love the idea of using a old book page to matt your photo. Love the use of texture and the little flower cluster in the bottom corner, the little gold heart is a beautiful touch. A gorgeous layout, thank you for joining in at colormescrappy and hope you join us again with your lovely work
