Happy
WOYWW and I know I’m supposed to keep it brief (sorry Julia) but I wanted to a
share my first scrap book page with you all,
What’s
WOYWW? …Check
out the Stamping Ground to share in this addictive weekly crafty blog hop
hosted by the wonderful Julia…you will want to take part.
Hopefully
this will be one of many pages now that I finally got started. Not much else
happening I’m afraid I’ve been busy at work this week and not had any crafty time since
the weekend
My
dad sadly passed away three years ago and I don’t have very many photos of him
either whilst growing up or with my daughter. The photo I used for the page was
a tatty little photo that I found but couldn't part with, its damaged and not
the greatest of quality but is one of the few I have of him with my daughter as
a baby; so was very important to me to keep.
I’m happy with how it turned out and hope that
despite its size and quality it still remains the focal point. .I have put
additional journalling hidden on a tag as there are some very personal memories and
thoughts that I want my daughter to have that I wouldn't want on the page. The grand
idea is the scrapbook will be given to my daughter completed and will have a brief
page or two about me and my family( if I can find enough photos) and will manly
focus on her life from birth till the present day taking snapshot moments /events
along the way. I have so few photos from when I grew up and I want to keep as
many memories and events as vivid as possible for her and the generations ahead.
I’m
happy I got started. It was not as difficult as I thought it would be with a
huge 12x12 piece of card in front of me; I’m already planning the next one in
my head
Hope
you have a great week and get to do something that is special too you. Thanks
for visiting. And will visit all you WOWWER’S later as early start this morning
and will get back to you when I get back in from work later today...

Andrea, your first page is a beautiful tribute and a wonderful layout! Well done getting that page done! I've only done one scrapbook and that was of the twinks' first year. It turned out to be two volumes, which makes sense because there are two of them. I thought, ugh, what a job ... but, boy, once I got going, I found the whole project to be quite addicting. As you said, I was already thinking of the next two pages while finishing up a set. So it will be fun - a lot of work, but fun. It will bring you a deep sense of satisfaction when it's finished, knowing that she (and future generations) will treasure it forever!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous layout! Thanks for sharing this with us at Our Creative Corner - Love from Laura xxx
ReplyDeleteThis page is a lovely and fitting tribute to your father. You have done a great job of this page and should be very proud of it!
ReplyDeleteI loved the journalling. Couldn't read it all of course and do not need to...just loved that you took the time to record the memories and do a fitting tribute!
I have very few photos of myself or my family as well. It just was not the type of thing my folks did...they didnt take many photos. Like you, I treasure the ones I do have.
