Early this morning, I returned from a trip I took with my mother who is 82. It was just her and I. I wanted to be able to spend some one-on-one time with her while she still knew who I was. You see, I had an experience when I visited my grandmother, in a nursing home for the last time. I knew it was going to be a good-bye visit as we didn’t live close to her anymore, and it was already breaking my heart, but when she kept patting my check and saying, “now who are you again?” it took every ounce of courage not to break down. This was the last time I saw her, and she passed a couple months later. I didn’t want that to be the case with my mother. So today’s layout is for a travel page. I will share more details about my trip later.
I have decided to turn things around, I am posting a layout, so you can see how the patterns and colors are put together, and under it, I have posted the sketch with measurements. Remember, you can make whatever adjustments are needed to work for your own layout. This is a page that could also use your scrap patterned paper,
My Stickese die cut shapes are used for the embellishments on this page, so your page stays very flat, if that is important to you. Here is the sketch:
If you want to add more pictures to your Trip of a Lifetime page, you can use the patterened paper blocks and add two 2″ x 2″ photos in each square!
Creatively,
