Oscraps

First layout from last year

Here's my first page of 2024,
it was for the storybook/fantasy challenge.



And guess what my first upload for 2025 will be?
Yes, also for that same challenge!
Such a wonderful and romantic page. And how wonderful your first page this year has the same theme!!
 
What a great thread! I was curious to see what mine was, because my husband passed away on the 22nd of January and for the next year, a great majority of my layouts have been about him and us. Here's the layout I posted on January 2nd.

O Cheryl, what a beautiful first layout this is for 2024. I cannot image the year you have gone through, losing the love of your life. I admire you, the way you are living with the loss of your husband. I don't know you in daily life, I'm sure you have had lots of hard periods, and you probably still have. But you get out here, you share not only your pain, but also the wonderful memories. I'm Dutch, it's not always easy for me to express my feelings in a foreign language, but I have deep respect for you. Thank you Sheryl, for being such a big part of this community!
 
What a fun thread!
This is unfortunately my first lay out. The next one I really love, This one not so much :(

Well, I must admit your second page is beautiful, so I will share it here

But I do like your first page too. I love all the faces, the colors and the feel of it!
 
Thanks for this nice thread!
The first works in my gallery start in 2024 with an avatar, a new signature and this picture with photos of a hairdresser visit
created with Lynn Grieveson's "Within"

Beautiful, I always find it hard to scrap about myself, but you did a great job! Thanks for showing it to us here!!
 
Oh my goodness, Jeannette. Your comments are SO beautiful, and I sincerely appreciate all of your kind words. My husband was also Dutch. You expressed yourself so eloquently, it was perfect. Thank you again for giving me a "hug across the miles". :hug2::heartpumpred::heartpumpred::heartpumpred:
 
When I went back to my gallery, and I saw my 1st page, I immediately saw my father... waving to the camera, it was his last New Year's party with us... he knew that, and we knew that too.
The photo where he waves, I had a hard time with that the weeks before the holidays, I could see it again, and I knew this year he wouldn't be there. I was very sad, together with my sister we had a good cry, but then we enjoyed it with the whole family.

I understand it must be hard for you. But I do envy you for having so many beautiful photo's from your father. The day will come you can look at them with a smile!
 
I only became active again here in May last year after the closure of Scrap Girls so my layout is from May 2024
How wonderful. I used to be a volunteer at a museum too. Not anymore, due to not having the time, but I always loved it!'Thanks for showing your layout!
