SOUS Challenge


 Good morning! It's Stuck on Us Sketches time again and this week's sketch is from PageMaps. Make sure you stop by so you can see everyone's layouts, they are all fabulous.



Here I am again with grandpa's layouts.... I can't stop thinking of how fragile life is! You only get to live 70, maybe 80 or 90 years and then poof.... you are gone from this earth. It makes me reflect on how important family is and the only thing that remains for the next generation is our love for them. Wow....

Scrapping this picture of my husband and his dad made me cry. When Steve was little he was the one holding onto his father's hand and now is the opposite! My title is "Time" because that word describes perfectly what I was reflecting on.




 I caught another special moment when my daughter was saying goodbye to him. It pays to have a camera with you at ALL TIMES!!!!!


 

Have a fabulous and blessed weekend!

    Such a touching post Bea. It really does make you think. My grandmother is 90 and now I feel I'm scrambling to catch up on all her stories as I had always just blown them off when I was younger. Beautiful layouts too. Love that flower!

    Beatriz... these LOs are so tender! How precious it is to not only have captured these moments, but you did such a fabulous job displaying them in these LOs! You are right... life is fragile and we really do need to enjoy every moment we are given with our families!
