Photo lightened and clipped to mask, blending mode set to luminosity. Silhouette added and papers clipped to various portions of it. Added elements and changed blending modes on most - I just played around with them until I liked the effect. Word art cut up and moved around, lastly added journaling.

Journaling: Freshening mom's room with new paint and changing the flooring shortly after she passed offered an unexpected and surprising sense of renewal.
