{Celebration of Memories}

Hi fellow scrappers!  Rachel here with a new challenge.  I hope you're all enjoying beautiful spring weather (andautumn weather for our friends WAAAY down south).  Since Memorial Day (in the US) is almost upon us, I'd like us to take a look at someone you remember.  It could be someone who has passed away that was important to you, a lost friend/friendship, or a lost pet.  Just scrap someone you miss. Someone who's leaving changed you in some way. Scrap your best memory or your favorite thing about them. Make it a celebration of that person/pet and what they meant to you!
Here's some inspiration to help get you started!

Journaling:
I love this picture because it shows Vana doing what
she does best. She is an amazing Grandma and
an inspirational mother. I am forever a changed
person for her life having touched mine. I feel
so blessed to have found the man of my dreams, and
also to have known the woman that shaped him into
who he is before I knew he was what I was looking
for. Thank you, Vana. Thank you for showing me
such an example of motherhood, of love, and of life.
I love you. I miss you. I look forward to the day
I will see you again.
