Mojo Monday 269 & GrandDiva Creative Corner November Challenges

 Hello scrappers!

Today I want to share to projects.

Now that I am on my

paper crafting mojo

I want to share another

card I just finished for

Mojo Monday 269 challenge.

Here is this week's sketch

Now for my take:

I was in the holiday mood so I decided to create

a seasonal card using lavender, silver, and white.

The idea was to use colors different from the norm.

~~~~~~

Next, I want to share my layout I created

for 

Granddiva November Sketch Challenge.

Here is the sketch

Awesome sketch created by Rochelle Spears.

My take

I had fun creating this LO. I used pictures of my granddaughter

taken during her last visit with me.

She decided to have fun blowing bubbles.

I like the pics because I caught the bubbles.

That's it for today. I hope you enjoyed the inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by and 

"keep on scrapping!"

CSI Case File No. 45~Cherish

Sunday Blessings to you.

Today I want to share my

CSI Case File No. 45.

Let's see how I solved this case.

 

I came across this old sketch to use.

Here's my take:

I used a vintage and shabby chic style.

This picture is of my mom and her twin sister

when they were babies 

in 1924.

Here are close views of the journaling.

This is the journaling taken out of the scroll.

The journal reads as:

A Story of

Twin Sisters!

________________

 This story begins in a

city called Pittsburgh

Pennsylvania in the year

Of 1924. On a crisp and cool

Autumn day, October 24^th, 2

Twin sisters Mary and Martha

were born to Corrine and

James Johnson.Corrine

birthed Martha first and

then came Mary. My mom

told me Mary was slow

coming because she was

sleep and sucking her

thumb. As a child I

also sucked my thumb.

as the story goes Mary

and Martha were named

according to the Bible.

They were beautiful and

chubby dolls of the family.

Grandpa Johnson was so

proud of the twins he

decided one day he would

have their picture taken.

So it was so that twins

picture was taken while

sitting on top of a horse.

Grandpa Johnson held on to

his girls without being

seen. Without a smile or

cry the perfect picture was

taken and soon given to

Corrine and James. Today

the picture was Passed

down to me as a picture

of family heritage which

you now see. Thus the

story of the twin sisters

lives on in a photograph

of this and many more.

Although my mom was the

first of the twins to

pass on to heaven, love,

beauty, and heritage

continues to live on in

my heart and mind with

precious memories.

Love always.

and how I solved this case.

 

My take:

I enjoyed working with these colors.

This is my granddaughter when she was

7 months old. 

Close Up Views:

Journals:

I used 2 journals this time. The journal

reads as:

~~~~

This is my granddaughter when

she was 7 months old. Adrianna

is a chubby, cutie pie with a

smile that will turn tears into

laughter and joy. She has bright

peek-a-boo eyes and soft

marshmellow cheeks.Adrianna is a

“Daddy’s girl.” Always crawling

around to be close to her daddy.

She could turn my cloudy days into

sunny days. Each time my little

cupcake visited me, my pain

would go away and I would be

filled with such joy and hours

of laughter. While holding her

I would often feel like she was

the baby girl I never had. Thank

God for my little angel; my

granddaughter Adrianna.

Hi there all!

Today I want to share my layout for

Check it out!!!!

The Case

 

 

My Layout Take

Title~My Mom

  Vintage Style

Picture Close View

This is my mom during her younger years.

Journal With Close View

The journal is hidden behind the picture.

 The Journal reads:

My mother was the first twin born in 1924

within the Johnson family in Pennsylvania.

From that time on Martha grew into this beautiful

young woman. She always dressed so pretty,

very gracious, quiet, and giving. Down through the

years, my mom continued to be a lady with a

beautiful persona. She had nothing but friends,

not one enemy. Everyone loved Ms. Martha and

could always keep a secret. She married my dad

and had 1 child; me. My mom taught me act like

a lady, keep a clean home, and care for others.

She continued being this perfect lady until poor

health took over. Everyone loved Ms. Martha.

I took loving care of my mom until she made

the transition to heaven in 2002. Even today

I have characteristics like Ms. Martha. I shall

never forget and always cherish my mom with

memories and love. Until we meet again,

love you momma.         2012
