Such an amazing LO. I love you added the back story - like any work of art it always means more when you know where the artist was and where they went wit their masterpiece - this is such an empowering masterpiece!
Wow I don't even know what to say. This layout tells your story so well. I noticed the cut photo right away. The stitching is beautiful. I am sorry you lost your mom and there is a break up in your family. Hugs to you and thank you for inspiring us to bare our souls in our work, not just always the happy side of life.
Sorry I missed this earlier. I'm so glad you were able to use your scrapbooking to heal and move forward. Thank you for sharing this with us. It is a powerful piece.
Wow! This must be empowering for you to use your art to help you heal and you expressed your pain in such a haunting way. What you did to the photos is so symbolic and I hope it gives you peace! You were very brave to reveal yourself to us. I say bravo!!
WOW... first of all your lo is absolutely lovely. I love the way you are s creative. but the heartfelt emotions behind it really came out here. fantastic page, thanks for sharing (hugs)
Wow, this is so great! Thank you for sharing, I hope it helped, in my opinion scrapping is the best therapy! Your stitching is amazing, Beautiful page.
Oh Wow! Hugs are definitely in order here. You did such an intricate job of telling such a delicate story. The stitching and torn spots are just so perfect for this. I think this is probably my favorite lo of yours. Just stunning any way you look at it.
Hi Laura, I have always enjoyed your work of artistry~ and this l/o is no exception; aside of course from the pain you have had to endure : ( and how much that shows thru in your design. It is amazing and so expressive. Wowzer. I am so sorry your family had to experience all this. I hope you are healing dear Laura. We are here for you~
I'm sorry your loss has cut as deep as this, that makes it even harder to bare. I hope your layout brings healing to you as you have expressed it well with what I can see as maybe a hope in the future of stitching back together if the moment is ever right. In the meantime your layout gives a stunning visual of the loss and heartache you are feeling. Heal...
Wow...sounds like you were given the perfect song, because this LO is so real and heartfelt...your execution is a perfect representation of what you are trying to say and I totally get it. Amazing work!
Laura, I hope that all the pain and loss you have experienced and processed in the making of this lo are on their way to something less hurtful and more loving to hold. It is a brave thing you did here, not easy I know.
So sorry for what you go through, I think putting it to paper helps...hope it helped you..Each person has their own game of "life" and we all find our journeys to handle the not so fun parts....hugs your way! Gorgeous page by the way!!!!
Sorry for your sadness and the situation with your siblings. Life isn't always pretty and I am glad that you were able to heal a bit through the love of this hobby. The layout is awesome and truthful, and I love it!!! Straight to my faves!!
What a powerful page, I hope by completing this you're able to move forward and maybe over time things will be different with your siblings...love all the details, especially the stitching.
I know how difficult this was for you to do. It was like opening a wound that doesn't heal well. I hope that you know that there is so much love at home for you, and I hope that you can one day heal from it all. <3 you Marmie. As far as the LO goes, MAN this turned out! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the stitching details, that must have took you forever to do. The concept, and the overall direction the page took is wonderful, I feel what you were putting out there. The "knife" markings, the papers, how you manipulated the photo. As someone, who knows (on a personal level) what it all means; you nailed this lift!
Oh my Laura, I am so sorry for your loss, not just your mum, but your siblings. You did an amazing job of capturing your loss & grief in this amazing lo. I hope you have been able find some closer & you will let yourself move on & enjoy life. Blessings to you!
I know that everyone don't do journal LO's but I had the opportunity to do some healing, so here it is. Sometimes life is not pretty, or kind or even guarantied, but one thing for sure is I loved my mum with my whole heart and now that she is gone, my heart is broken! And sometimes we have to cut loved ones (3 of my siblings that I hold responsible) out of our lives in order to move forward. Forgive, I have, but forget what they took away from me, I can not. I was given the song "Stitches" by Shawn Mendez and a LO for Dec challenges so I combined the two. I thought by doing this LO I could put my heart back on track! Hope you all don't think it's too dark but I had to do a breakup LO for the song and this is my only one. I did a lot of sewing too! Something I don't do too often. I printed 2/ 5"x 7"s one in color and one B/W, overlapped and then cut it apart. Leaving My mum and I in full color for main focal point. TFL!
