Weekend Wildcard 3rd December_Cousin Clara

That's so sweet that you two sing together. There's a lot of love there.  I love the messy edges and news print paper. Lovely journaling and special layout.

Such a touching page Ann Marie. Your cousin is very lucky to have you nearby to share memories with. Love the simplicity of your LO and the way you have picked out the main colours in your cousin's top.

What a special page. Super journaling. Its so nice that you are able to visit and share the old memories.

What a special page and photo this is and you have scrapped such a sweet moment and event.  Your journaling is so touching and now nice for both of you to have this family connection.  I like the colors you used and how the pieces you used go across the page.  I think I see a family resemblance in your cousin and you from your photos.  

What an amazing story of connection.  Great job pulling the colors and style of the pattern on her shirt to the embellishments on the page. 

Very special and sentimental. Love the ‘messy’ center, and clean edges.

How lovely that you've been able to re-establish contact with Clara. I'm sure she enjoys your visits, too. I like how you've brought colors from the photo onto your page and left the top and bottom solid.

So sweet that y'all were able to re-connect! Lovely page, I like how your colors mimic the ones in her shirt!

How wonderful that you live so close to one another and can visit and share memories. Your layout is very pretty and I love the colors reflecting your cousin's shirt.

Sadly there is not a lot of memories we share but I do try and talk about her early days as much as I know as we did not grow up close. Clara has dementia and can no longer walk after various strokes.

Oh, that is difficult. The loss of memory is a devastating situation for all involved. I am sure she still appreciates the visits.
