Remembering Mary
Last month I made a memory book for my friend's mother who passed away in December.
I used the Top Note die to cut pages that people could write a special memory about Mary. The inside cover has extra blank pages for anyone who wants to add a memory but could not attend the funeral.
I used the neutral textured pack of paper to mount the memories on. I used smooch spritz to stencil the Kind Thoughts Brocade onto each page as a background.
The inside back cover of the linen album contains those memories that were added after I finished the book.
The memory book is stored in this wooden box which was donated by another friend.
The left inside of the wooden box has the information about Mary that was handed out at the funeral.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful idea! It is amazing how quickly memories can fade, it would be so neat to flip through the book and read about other peoples memories as well as your own. I just love it!
