Unforgettable Moments - Scrap Town Lady

Happy Wednesday! I played with a Spring Authentique collection; Remembrance, while we are waiting for the new CHA products to trickle down to us. Cheryl has been busy adding new products every day to Scrap Town Lady, so be sure to check out the store. I just saw the Authentique Seasons: Autumn in the store. I love the Remembrance collection of papers. They are so beautiful! I played up the softness and created this shabby layout of my paternal grandparents.

I used this sketch by the very talented Nadia Cannizzo from Once Upon a Sketch. The theme for August is "I'll never forget"

My journaling is hidden behind the upper right corner of the photo and reads...

"My grandparents were already quite old when I was born. My father was their last child out of 11 children.  I regret that I did not get to know them better. I will never forget that they taught me how to play cards and always had lemon drops to give me for a treat. Cold cereal wasn’t good enough, I was served warm oatmeal in the morning (not the instant stuff either). My Grandpa’s favorite expression was “POW!”, usually spoken when telling my Mom and Dad about someone that had died. They spoke a little German and I was told “machs gut” (which means take care) when leaving after a visit. But now that I am a mother, I want to ask my grandma and grandpa what kind of kid was my father. I bet they have some stories they could tell."

Let me show you some detail shots. The most notable die I used is the Cheery Lynn French Pastry Doily. Not only did I tuck it under the photo, but I cut pieces to tuck between my paper where I tore it.

I also used the Cheery Lynn Fanciful Fourish die, some gorgeous Prima flowers, and a few purple flowers that I made using the My Favorite Things Die-namics Flower Trio die. The metal pieces have patina ink and white paint on them to give them a more shabby appearance.

Scrap Town Lady has this gorgeous Snug Hug ribbon that comes in a large variety of colors. I tucked a few buttons I made from the My Favorite Things Die-namics Button Border die into my flower cluster in various places. I love these Prima felt flowers for a soft touch.

I am also linking up with Berry71Bleu for their Textile challenge. My textiles: canvas, felt, thread, and ribbon. The doilies are paper but look so real, don't they.
