I was just checking your gallery to see if you'd added anything, and found this treasure! The pictures are wonderful, and the layout is simply perfect! The colors and patterns go so well together, and I love the green viney-looking thing. How did you do that? I also like the corrugated mat. I've been meaning to try that, but I'm not sure how to go about it. The best thing of all, tho', is your journaling. It's the hardest thing for me, but I believe it's the most important. Without it, what meaning will any of the rest of it have after we're gone? What a wonderful job you've done!
I'm in love with this. Love the story. thanks so much for sharing. It made me feel like I was there listening to him play the violin. Beautiful design also.
I love that fern flourish (the leaves look like hearts) around the circle and the flowers are so pretty. I like the vintage feel of the page and the great story behind the pictures - you have to add your journalling on the back or somewhere secret!
This is beautiful and what wonderful memories to share! I have just begun doing heritage layouts and have marked yours as a favorite to provide inspiration to my next one!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading your wonderful story, Ann! What special photos! I am loving all the wonderful layering and the beautiful design! What a marvelous LO you created, Ann! I am also very impressed by your uncle's talent!
This is a scrap-lift of Jenniferjfletcher's beautiful "Faith". In the large photo are, l. to r., my mother, uncle, aunt and father and in the small one I'm standing between my aunt and uncle who had just retired to a cottage in Worcestershire. The small photo on the tag, "The house at Upper Lode Lock" is where my uncle had been lock-keeper for over 50 years and where I have the happiest memories of childhood holidays spent there. I used to love to "help" Uncle Charlie collect the fees from the pleasure boats passing through the lock and in the evenings the entertainment was very much home-made. My uncle was very talented - I remember him making his own violin which he used to play, entirely self-taught, while Aunty Blanch sang along to his tunes. Happy days indeed! TFL.
