Recent Layouts of Grandma

I wanted to share two recent layouts that I have created. They are both of my grandma who passed away in late April. I miss her and think about her all the time. So she is the subject of my layouts. I have a couple of more planned.

First is one I created about 10 days ago. I just had not gotten around to posting it yet. It is about Grandma missing Granddaddy after he was gone.

The second I just finished this morning and it was for a scraplift challenge on ScrapThatIdea's blog. A scraplift is when you base your layout on another layout, you use it for inspiration, or as a basic sketch of how you want your layout to turn out. The layout we are scraplifting is by Vicki and looks like:

This is what I came up with:

Grandma and Her Girls

Last week my grandma passed away. My twin sister and I were her only granddaughters and we had a special relationship with her. She was an incredible woman that we loved so very much. The pictures here are from 1985 and 2007.

It was with a heavy heart that I put together this scrapbook page. Her memory will live on.

Love you, Grandma.
