Oh my…what artistry…the memories lovingly preserved will be a treasure to the recipient. I loved watching you turn every page as I wiped my tears away. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fabulous, Andrea. I love the size of your journals. You take such care in the creation. You add do many beautiful layers to them! Love all the ephemera and of course, Heather's beautiful angels. Just fantastic! ❤
Thanks so much Kitty … How nice, I so appreciate your encouragement and indeed Heather is so very clever and does amazing work! How lucky we are!! TFW 🩵🩵
Oh Andrea, it's absolutely heartbreakingly beautiful. You are a genius. You manage to create such a story with your thoughtful creativity. Everything piece chosen and put together with perfection. With the turn of every page, we are drawn into a life lived, there's a melancholy sadness that is so beautiful. I'm in awe. ❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much Alexandra .. those angel images are digitals from Heather (Ruby & Pearl) I just printed them on blue book ends.. they’re special tho I so agree .. TFW 🩵🩵
It's gorgeous Andrea. I really love the idea behind "A widow's keepsake" and there is so much to see in it. I like the tuckspot behand the slide, the tiny pieces of lace, all vintage stufff and even used printables got a real vintage look.
Thanks so much Heather .. I think I initially grabbed your beautiful angel digitals for a Xmas journal .. shows how long it takes me to get organised! 😂 TFW 🩵🩵
Thanks so much Cheryl .. I think it’s what I love about making them .. there’s really nothing off the table.. it’s just working out how to incorporate the item into it! TFW 🩵🩵
I LOVE this Andrea, this is exactly what I would like to create in memory of my late Dad. it gave me leaky eyes just thinking of special memories I had forgotten, little things you have used certainly brought them flooding back
Love love love ❤️❤️❤️ You are a creative genius! I'm not going to point out each beautiful piece but those images on green card throughout and the wallet at the beginning are crazy gorgeous 🥰🥰🥰
OMG, this is truly AMAZING ... I love everything about it! You've inspired me to try making something similar in memory of my mum - our style is very similar so with any luck mine will turn out just as special. Thank you so much for sharing this beauty.
Oh, great. As always, you have lots of great papers and wonderful details combined. And the old leather is always so great. I like using it too, but you have to find something of that quality first!! great!! I especially celebrate the corset or bra fastener that you built in there!! laugh.
Thanks so much Pamela .. I love reading what you’ve spied! I’ve been lucky with leather covers, this was from an A4 size book so I still have 1/2 .. I love the marbling inside.. Ha I’m hoping it’s from a corset .. I have several and I’d think twice about using them if I thought they were from a bra 😂 TFW 🩵🩵
What a beautiful journal I don’t know if it was the music or the bits and pieces but certainly brought a few tears. Thanks for sharing this wonderful treasure. I’m a new subie
