TAKE MY ADVICE || NEW RELEASE FROM FAYETTE

One of my favorite parts of Fayette's kits is her adorable, and always useful wordart. Many times my pages come together because of the word art, quotes or phrases that she uses when she designs her kits. Most of the time I start my page with the wordart and find a photo or story that goes with it to make my page. I LOVE all of the wordart in this one, I could have made several more pages with all the cute wordart she included.

Take a look at this gorgeous new kit she designed.

Take My Advice by Fayette Designs found HERE at PickleBerry Pop


Here are my pages:



and I made a second side for this one too:

Mamma's Celebration - The rest of the book

I've been working on mamma's book a lot. It's like my therapy. I know it's hard for some people to even look at the pictures, much less think about everything we went through last year, but I want to record it all. I want to remember everything, I want it all written down, so I don't forget. and so I can look back and remember all of the sweet tender mercies we received. I know my mamma is gone and I know it's not the outcome that we wanted, but I am so grateful that it's not the end, that I have learned so much and grown so much. I am grateful that I have the knowledge that we WILL see her again, the she is still with us, that eternal life is real. I know that I will never be the same, and I think that's exactly the reason whey we are asked to walk through these earthly trials.

I have a lot of tweaking, editing, proof reading and re-sizing before I am ready to print, but I have all of the pages done and the book all laid out. I decided when I started that I was going to include as many pictures as I wanted and that I wasn't going to edit, or limit the amount of pages because of the cost or because of the size of the book, and I LOVE how it turned out! YES, it's huge. 166 pages, and it's going to be amazing when I get it printed!!

Here is the last third of the book, if you want to see the first or second part, you can see them HERE and HERE.

All of the templates are from Yin Designs and the kit is She's a Fighter from Kristin Cronin-Barrow

Utah....again!! {trip #2}

I decided that I wanted to print all of mom's story in one book, and I decided that I wanted to document EVERYTHING, no matter how many pages it takes. {Sometimes I edit and condense for the sake of space and money because I know I take a lot of pictures}....but, I don't care this time! I want it all! Every picture, every memory, every story, everything.

Processing all of these pictures and editing all of the journaling has been hard. It's heart wrenching to go back and look at how sick mom really was, to see the pain and anguish in her face. It's hard to know that she's not with us anymore and to process that I won't ever see her again in this life, but it's also therapeutic to look at the memories, to remember the good times, and the bad, to document and preserve our story. Because that is what it really is, it's our story. It's my story, and I want to remember it.

Again I used the same kit called "She's a Fighter" by Kristin Cronin-Barrow from Sweet Shoppe Designs for most of the pages. {I added a few other elements from my stash}.

All of the templates are from Yin Designs, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her templates!!

I can't wait to print it!!
