More Memories - WoW WEDNESDAY

Voila! I won my first WoW WEDNESDAY contest...so let's try for #2!

Today was not the world's greatest day. Lots of stress, tears, and emotions. I finally found my way to Cat's Creations Scrapbooks in Mineral Wells to pick up my goodies for winning the contest. I must say, I was also looking for a way to ease the emotional tension of today too. The other day another layout was created by Morgan (I swear I'm not stalking her work) and I was immediately drawn to the patterns and colors of the paper and embellishments she used. You can see her creation here.

The paper in question is Fancy Pants Wonderful Day Collection.

So here is what I started out with this evening:

Four sheets of paper, two sticker sets, pictures, and a fun little name sticker embellishment.

I wanted to buy a few more pieces, but I was pleased to get all I could!

And below is what scraps I had left when I was done!

Here are the finished pages, nothing like my inspiration, but very much my own pieces of fun! Any idea who that little girl is? My mom got some amazing smile shots of me.

Here are a few closeups of the little pieces of fun I added onto my pages.

 I added the little band of flags just for the fun of it. Love to work with my twine and hemp strings!

 This quote really reminded me of all the times I had with my mom. Miss her more and more every day.

And closeups of the two pages individually.Who would have thought the first day of school would have warranted such a celebration? I love seeing my brother in this picture.

One of these days I promise my picture taking will get better! I guess these aren't so bad though, at least you can tell what's on my pages!

I learn how to grieve better every day with each picture I pull out and decide to stick onto paper. This was a great relief of stress, along with the kind words a wonderful woman shared with me today. So there you have it.

Now what is this WoW Wednesday you keep hearing me mention? Well over at Cat's blog, myself and other talented scrappers and croppers link up some of our work for a chance to win some goodies from Cat's Creations Scrapbooks in Mineral Wells.
