So, I've had this picture in my scrapping pile for a while. It's of my Auntie Rene, who died this February. She was really ill when this picture was taken last year, but she always managed a smile when I took Xander to see her. Emily remembers her but unfortunately Xander never will so I wanted something in his scrapbook as a momento of her.
I also wanted to do something different for his scrapbook, so I went for this old fashioned type paper from the kit, and the flower for a very unboyish bit of controversy!!
And the good news is, I still have enough stuff in the kit for another 2 layouts! Better get my thinking cap on!

That's gorgeous Lou :) I love the title and the olde world feel. A great photo too and a great memory for Xander to have in his album.
love M
Oh Lou, this is gorgeous xx
Beautiful Lou... I may be lifting that one for an lo with my great grandmother and daughter.
I have a vested interest in this particular item but am so pleased Lou has included this for Xander's future. My Aunte Rene was lovely, she had a a knack of plain speaking which is not uncommom of her generation but she is sadly missed. Think we will silently raise d a toast to her on saturday 17th when we meet for lunch. Mum xx
Er, Mother, what do you mean a 'silent toast'? I think a 'load voice at the most inopportune moment toast' would be more inkeeping with the memory of Auntie Rene! Or had you forgotten the 'Ooh, isn't our Philip getting bald' comment as I walked down the aisle?!
