When i check out what others have done for this challenge, they are beautiful layouts on beautiful moments in time... but mine is somber and reflective. I turned the sketch clockwise once and only used two photos. The pictures and journalling describe a time after the flood where i am still trying to comprehend it all..Even now, i am sad writing this as there is still a lot of hurt and blame being felt by people in my district. This layout is more about therapy for me than being part of a challenge.. So thank you for looking and all comments are appreciated..
omg lizzy this is a stunning layout...a definite true winner................. im loving it all..... i remember the floods, although it didnt hit where i am im still close enough to you to have been affected as well,.....and my aunt and uncle are 'just up the road' from you at murphy's creek......... i didnt do a happy memory for this challenge either....mine was when connor almost severed a toe by dropping a brick on his foot.......

Dear Lizzy I adore your layout! And the most adorable about this is that you managed to create a nice layout based on green (the colour of hope) for such a sad moment. I'm sure it's very therapeutical for you but also for your family. Take care and always be strong! Love from Greece who's trying to stand up...

ReplyDeleteLizzy nothing wrong with sombre. This is thoughtful and thought provoking. It's why we scrap to remember all those moments in time that have such meaning.

Meaningful scrapping, precious memory.
ReplyDeleteThat's ok - you're allowed to do sombre and reflective, as you said, it's part of the therapy. So for that fact alone it's a wonderful page. But it's also very beautiful with heartfelt journaling. Well done!
ReplyDeleteSometimes it is good to focus on the sombre and be reflective. There is s a time for everything.
