Grandparents

For UK mother's day Sara surprised me with a subscription to Storyworth which I think is a brilliant idea to get in writing all those questions you wish you had asked parents; however life has been very busy and I've not actually sat down and completed any of the tasks on paper yet but I have been giving my answers a lot of thought. As I submit the text to Storyworth I also thought I would produce a scrapbook page or two for each question or maybe even more depending on how much I want to write - Storyworth is about the stories rather than photographs. I've just used Lorem Ipsum here in the meantime and there might end up 4 columns rather than three on this page - we'll see!

I clipped the photograph to a Fotoblendz, duplicated - one layer color burn and the other soft light. This is positioned on one of the beautiful artsy papers which I moved towards the top of the page to make room for journalling. Underneath is a cream paper revealed using a soft brush eraser on 50%. Lastly I added a selection of flowers and grasses and paper texture all from the Collection.

Wonderful Design and what a great gift from your daughter!
It is exactly what is missing so much when the grandparents and later the parents have to leave! The love, the close connection and the conversations about the connections in the family, the small and large tragedies and also happy stories. We can't ask anymore... It would be very emotional, but perhaps also liberating work on the family history.
I think it's a great idea, stops the 'wish I had asked' thing. So many things I wish I had asked...
 
An incredibly intriguing idea! I look forward to your pages! Love this start, with a wonderful flow across the page, great textures and almost a fracture, like, what happens?
Thanks Diane, I completed my first task today so need to keep going and catch up - less thinking and more typing as Jeanne suggested above!
 
Great idea! There are so many questions that I wished I had asked. My daughter gave us a book similar to this concept, except it was making lists of things. Beautiful blending and vintage photo.
So, so many questions I wished I had asked so I think this is a great idea!
