What a beautiful and sweet page. The journaling is so heartfelt and sweet. I especially love the design and use of the liquid pearls. Fabulous! What a great way to tell your children about how wonderful their father was!
This is beautiful and so sweet. You put so much work into it, and it shows. How nice that you explained to us how you did it all. It's truly lovely. Thank you!
I love this and was so touched by your journaling. What a beautiful memory you have captured for your children. What a rough time this must have been for you, and pregnant to boot. I'm so glad you found a wonderful man to be their day and your DH. Your children will treasure this. It's made with love, through and through. Love the rich colors, your punchwork and that fab family photo.
Ohh this is so nice.. what a photo. How much your life changed in such a short time. YOur work on this is wonderful & I love you rich color choices! awesome work!! tfs :D
Oh Susan, (sniff) what a beautiful page and a touching story. It's so sad that they didn't get to meet their father. I know that has to weigh heavy on your heart. Probably much more than theirs since they did end up with a wonderful Dad.
Your exquisite style makes this a beautiful layout and your journaling will be a treasure for your children and their children. The punch work and flowers are lovely!
Beautiful page - don't think I've ever seen this photo of you, Allen and the girls - I still miss him, too! Love the pretty CTMH pps and all the pretty punching!
Totally understanding what this means for you. I am thinking a lot of you these days, of women and their strength, and me suddenly being one of these, of how things and life just HAVE to go on, and they do, even if one can't imagine.
I'm familiar with your tragic loss, Susan. I cannot imagine... I'm so glad you are scrapping these precious photos for your children. They will adore this treasured keepsake. So very beautiful!
I love this awesome vintage photo. It breaks my heart to hear about the loss of your first husband at such a young age. This page will mean so much to your children. Thanks for sharing it with us: It is such a beautiful, heartfelt, and lovely layout!
This is a photo of me and my first husband with our girls when they were small. My husband was killed in an auto accident about fifteen months later, so my girls never really got to know what a great guy he was...and our son, who was born seven months after the accident, never knew him at all. I'm trying to scrap some of our older photos, and tell my children a bit about their Daddy. The man they call Daddy, has been my husband for 30 years now, and he's been a wonderful father to my children. We're a very lucky family...two great men in our lives!
I used CTMH papers for this layout and LOTS of punch work. I cut the title out with the Silhouette. The bling flourishes are made with liquid pearls on a transparency that I then cut out and adhered with glue dots. The flowers are all handmade by cutting out the shape with a Lifestyle Crafts die, then folding each petal and stacking 2-3 flowers together. A piece of bling in the center to finish them off. The leaves were cut with a Sizzix die and embossed with a stylus for dimension. I also did a bit of machine stitching on the green mat. The title work is shaded with a Memento's marker. Journaling is tucked behind the large mat on the left and reads:
Looking at this photo…I can't believe it's been 35 years since this photo was taken. I really seems like it was just a short time ago! Kimberly, you were barely three weeks old and Traci was about 22 months old. This photo was made at Ken and Diane Wiley's house on Christmas day 1976. I look back at this photo and realize how young, innocent, and naïve I was. Little did I know how much my life would change within the next three years. Your Daddy was a gentle and loving man and his two little girls held his heart captive. He loved both of you more than you'll ever know. He had a happy, fun-loving, and outgoing personality. Even though you weren't old enough to remember him, I want you to know that he was a great man and a wonderful Daddy…and he loved you very much! Journaling: April 2011
