StuckOnUSketches - MUM

In the few years that I have been scrapbooking this is the first completed layout I have made using a photo of my late Mum.  I have at least 3 in progress but have never been able to finish them - this time I created the layout THEN added the photo - think it is down to the fact that I only have this one photo of her and she was only 19 at the time.

As usual the sketch over at StuckonUSketches is fantastic and perfect for the Kaisercraft papers I bought recently at Grimsby Crafts - yummy scrummy vintage - luurve them!!!.  I used my faithful MS round the edge punch, a Cheery Lynn Doily die, Spellbinders Banner die, TH Tag die for the label, cream ribbon and pearls, a lovely cream Prima butterflies, a pearl flourish cut in half, TH photo strip and some Prima Flowers to finish it off and here it is....



Right - off to photo my Stampotique piece

Thanks for looking

    This is a beautiful page Polly of a very precious photo. I find it difficult to scrap photo's of my Mum too.... You have certainly created a lasting, treasured memory. Love the Cheery Lynn doilies and the banner is fab. Thanks for joining us at SOUS.... Hugs x

    This is so pretty, Polly. I agree that it is hard to scrap those family members that we have lost .. but I am so glad you got this one done. Loving the vintage take on the sketch and I adore those Cheery Lynn dies. Thanks for playing along at SOUS!
