Log your memories

Eind 2011 heb ik meegewerkt aan het logbook van Log your memories.
In de loop van 2012, nadat de layout op de blog geshowd was, mochten we die zelf ook laten zien. Maar ja... het is een raar jaar geweest...
Dus hier alsnog de layouts:

Another CSI challenge:

 

Evidence: 

* flowers

* metal (under neath the purple flower)

* scallops

* fabric

Testimony:
* Be inspired by this site: Daydreaming on Paper: The first thing I thought when I opened my eyes this
   morning was....
* Add scallops to your journaling spot

Journaling:
The first thing I thought when I opened my eyes was: It's mom's birthday and she isn't here anymore!
It feels so unreal that we lost the both of you in 2012. Yesterday it was dad's date of death.
On your grave we've put purple roses. For always in our heart!

Love, Miranda

The gift of memories

Here's an other challenge from CSI:

And this is my take on it.

 Evidence:
- wood/ woodgrain
- twine
- kraft paper
- newsprint paper
- tags

Testimony:
- Write your journaling on tags and tie it to something on your page with twine
- Handwrite your journaling
- Inspiration words: gift, favorite, remember

Journaling reads:
Behind each tear of sadness, there is a smile filled with memories.

After mom had gone, we needed to get the house empty. A job we look up to terribly.
Decide what you want to keep and what not.
To almost anything hangs a memoy. One thing I immediatly know that I want to have it: the piano.
The musicbox in which mom kept her jewellery.
As a kid that musicbox was my favorite.
When you open the lit, the dancer begins to turn around. We weren't allowed to wind it up, that was something mom did!
And so are there many memories to my childhood. Some attatched to a concrete object, others for always tied in my heart.
I'm so thankful for those gift of memories, all made in a positive environment.
Thanks mom en dad. I love you!

Love, Miranda

CSI #51; Miss you so much

Na lange tijd eindelijk weer een scrapberichtje op mijn blog.
Het overlijden van zowel mijn vader (op 2 januari) als mijn moeder (op 23 oktober) in 1 jaar heeft er voor gezorgd dat mijn hoofd niet naar scrappen stond.
** After a long time, at last a scrappy message on my blog.
The decease of both my dad (January 2) and my mom (October 23) in one year was the cause I couldn't get myself to scrapbook.

Maar met Kerst heb ik deze layout gemaakt, met behulp van challenge #51 van CSI.
* But on Christmas I made this layout, with the help of challenge #51 from CSI.

Evidence:
* circular objects
* glitter
* pearls
* embossing (the little heart is embossed en filled with glitter afterwards)

Testimony:
* Six-word memoir (title: Miss you so much this Christmas)
* Journal on tags

Journaling reads:
The first Christmas without you is hard.
It is so unreal that you both aren't here any more. 
Daddy since January 2, and mom so suddenly since October 23.
I miss you terribly, certainly now with Christmas.

Love, Miranda
