Some of you who know me are aware that I lost one of my best friends on 9/11; I'm currently working on a LO that chronicles our 6+ years of friendship & good times, I didn't want to focus solely on her passing. That being said, I did want to finally record my experience of 9/11 – waking up to my mom's answering machine messages; being a NYCer at home watching the tragedy unfold; learning later that my friend was inside; gathering w/ her family & friends to pass out fliers, mourn & lean on each other; & my life since.
I wanted to make this a pocket page from 2 pieces of cs so that I could slip my account of 9/11 inside & not have to worry about editing it down to fit the page.
This is my response to twinscrapbee/Brenda's “Write On Your Photos” challenge for Scrap Happenzz Critique Group. The quote on the photo is from the end of my account. Don't know if you can tell but the translucent white paper is textured in kind of floral imprints, & the red was lightly stamped w/ a background stamp. The background is Ellie Pooh cs, which has a gorgeous textured & cool speckled look. The big white flower was an '07 birthday giftie from one of SHCG's former leaders, Kaleidascope (thanks K).
The photo was taken by a friend of mine one day when we were driving by. As w/ a lot of NYCers, the WTC held a special place in my heart – I met another best friend while temping there years ago; years later, I would later have another long-term, very enjoyable assignment there. It wasn't just the 2 buildings, it was a whole complex of stuff, such a cool place … “a vibrant community, an enjoyable place to work & a comforting & grand highlight in our skyline.”
I wanted to go simple & subtle on this one…I also wanted an understated patriotism to shine forth too, which I tried to do w/ the colors.
If you'd like to read my journaling (2 pages), feel free to PM me w/ your e-mail address & I'll send you a Word copy. I heal through sharing & I know it would be of interest to some people.
TFL :)
Thanks for spreading positivity!
