Memories of Grandma!

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about my Grandma McCoy.  I'm the first "scrapbooker" in our family and I find myself trying to write down the little things as I think of them so that I can tell the story later in my scrapbooks.  I did just that in the layout below.  I created this layout in September 2011 to incorporate multiple challenges over at Club CK. If you haven't checked out Club CK, you should! 

 The challenges were:

• Journal about your Grandma! (http://clubcreatingkeepsakes.com/blogs/for_members_only/archive/2011/09/01/journaling-challenge-journal-about-your-grandma.aspx)
• One-Hour Challenge - Use Word Strips On A Layout (http://clubcreatingkeepsakes.com/blogs/ck_community/archive/2011/09/06/one-hour-challenge-use-word-strips-on-a-layout.aspx)
• Issue Challenge #2 (Sept 2011) hosted by Erika H. - Create a layout, card or embellishment that has some form of clustering.  http://clubcreatingkeepsakes.com/forums/t/89011.aspx

I even used up some scraps  - the patterned paper and blue card stock were both from my scrap file.

I am in the process of getting photos out of <cringe> shoeboxes  and old  photo albums with yellow pages <cringe some more> and at least get them into photo safe storage containers.  As I find photos that spark memories, I have been jotting them down and placing them with the photo, hoping that they will spark yet other memories that I can capture when I start to scrapbook. 

Thanks for stopping by.
