This layout is from the weekend that we had my friend's memorial. He was murdered. It is probably one of the most traumatic things that has happened in my life. I'm still trying to get over the shock of the whole thing. We had a great weekend to celebrate his life. Over 500 people came to the memorial. Our high school friends came from all over the country. My friend Charclee, stayed with us the entire weekend. We always have so much fun together. My brother Josh came in from California. It was a lot of fun despite the sad circumstances.
Moving on...
Here is my Project Life Layout
Thanks for stopping by. I'm hoping to get a tutorial posted soon so check back in a few days for that. Enjoy the rest of your blog tour.
Your layout is adorable!! I love how the elements bring your eye into the photo! I love how you cut up a journal card and have strips of journaling! Great idea! Your PL layout is also fantastic. I love the little touches you added to the cards!
ReplyDeleteI love your layout!!! The fun viewfinder reel and the fun polaroids and the elements on your page rock!!! I also loved your PL layout too!! I am sorry for you loss and the tragedy, however, what a great way to remember and celebrate his life. Great Job!!! Loves-Scrappin Madge
