This is not my lo. It is my sister's challenge to my response for the SHCG Weeks #32-33 WC which was to create a lo that does not use at least 2 of the elements that appear on our last 5 los. She mouthed off something about doing a better lo, and I accepted the challenge. Her description appears below.

In Loving Memory: ROSA
Rice was her favorite
Outdoors she enjoyed
Smiling was never hard
Adorable was she

I am not an avid scrapper like my sister but I thought it would be fun and annoying to challenge her on creating a better lo using this picture of our grandmother. My sister had her lo planned and sketched out as I was stuck on the one piece of floral paper which I thought went best with the photo. I purposely chose a 5x7 print because I didnt want to fill a space that could be used for creativity with a huge 8x10 print like my sister. The idea of the trellis came overnight after I was tired of watching my sister layer one colored paper after another, I figured why not showcase the flowers behind all those layers. I used my sister's left over flower embellishments and cut out leaves to decorate the trellis. I have to admit the Cricut machine is the best thing ever and I was able to neatly cut out my shapes and letters adding sharpness to my lo. Hee hee!! I knew I had to do some sort of journaling or else I wouldn't even stand a chance in this challenge and by using the letters in her name I tought it was a fast, fun, and easy way to get it all done after spending so much time on the trellis. After a long night I figured I'd call my lo done. I like the simplicity and overall this has helped me in my grieving by celebrating my grandmother's spirit and memories of her life. Thank you girls and keep on scrappin ...b!tches!
