I have tears just reading that lo. How heartfelt. I love the picture, what a great lo to give to you son later in life too....he looks sooooo content and happy being in his Papa's arms. ..My dear Mother passed a year ago. Just a few weeks before Christmas so I know how difficult the pain can be of losing a parent. This is my first Christmas without her and I miss her terribly. Great job and I am adding this to my favorites. Awesome work!
What a great design and LO. I have been wanting to do one of my grandmother who passed last year. Since I started scrapping I have wanted to do one of my grandmother but it is difficult. Thanks for giving me the gust to begin ideas for page. Take care
Gorgeous LO.. i LOVE everthing about it!! the stiching adds so much to it.. and the picture is priceless.. I am adding this one to my faves.. thanks for sharing!!
This was by far one of the hardest layouts that I have done, emotionally. It was the first picture of my Dad that I scrapped since he passed.
I snapped this photo when Nicholas was about two before heading off to a UH baseball game. It would turn out to be one of my favorite photographs of all time. The love that I see in my Dad's eyes is undeniable. He adored Nicholas! I gave this picture to my Dad for what would be his last Christmas.
I hope that Nicholas remembers his Papa. I hope that he remembers the unconditional love that he gave.
He passed only a few weeks before the twins were born. He was so excited and desperately wanted to hold on until their birth...but I think God had other plans for my father. He needed to be there for the twins in a greater way. I believe it was his angel wings from up above that kept our twins, that were born 5 weeks early, healthy and without any medical problems.
This one’s for you Daddy!! XOXO
Unlike most of my layout’s that I struggle with for days and sometimes months, this lo actually came out of me quite effortlessly. The piecing of the Basic Grey with the use of my sewing machine was therapeutic. Every stitch of the machine felt like a physical mending of my still broken heart. I wanted to journal on the page, but really couldn’t find an area that would hold all of it. I decided that I would journal on the website instead.
One of my favorite parts of the layout is the little rectangular piece sewn at the corner. On the actual full sheet of BG paper a bird is flying up into the sky into light. This beautiful light represents my Dad’s presence shining down on us.
