"Remembering Someone Special"

Everyone has suffered some sort of loss at some point in his or her life.  My greatest loss, is my mother.  She has been gone for almost 8 years.  I made this 12x12 page layout in memory of her.  I think they are so much prettier in person, and I am so excited about how nice the colors all went together.  I embellished both pages with thick cardstock, layered 2 papers, for the photos, and chalked around all of the outside edges.  The embellishments are 3-D and very eloquent, and I also used several chip board sayings.  I haven't completed these pages yet.  I am waiting to get back to the studio, where I will add ribbons, photos, and a few paperclips...I also plan to add 2 fabric flowers, which were my mothers favorite, and then I will post more pictures!
