The challenge this week at Heart 2 Heart is "For the Girls". I chose to create a very special layout as a tribute to my precious mother. She means the world to me and I love this photograph of her from her youth.
I purposely used a sepia based photograph because the original photo was black and white so it didn't detract at all from the original and I was also able to use many of the new Basic Fundamental products from Close To My Heart.
There is journaling on the reverse side of the photo as I used a 4x4 Flip Flap. That message is shown below the layout.

A beautiful tribute page to your mom, Alyson. The sepia photo was a great choice! I love the pop of color the flowers bring to the design, as well as all the glitter and sequins!
what a beautiful tribute to your mom Alyson. I love her photo, you look like her. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, what a fantastic layout...are you going to frame this and give to your mom? Really enjoy looking at pictures of my mom when she was younger, and Lisa had done a layout after her passing, of a photo taken around the time she was dating my dad...the layout and photo is beautiful.
