My Grandma Marge

My grandmother, Marjorie passed away a few weeks ago.  Recently a cousin sent these two photos and I wanted to make a layout showing how Grandma and Grandpa had started a huge family.  The big group picture is almost inclusive of Harvey and Margie's descendants, only two people missing.  I like to think Grandma was watching from heaven as the family gathered to celebrate her life and try to stay in a tight group for the picture!

I found a blog hop going on this weekend from Scrappin-n-Chattin...hops are always fun, hopping around visiting different blogs to see creative ideas!  Oh and entering to win some blog candy is always a thrill.  So check out the blog hop at Boxer Brats Scraps, but be sure to start at My Scrap Stuff for the details and order of the hop - and have FUN!

More Creating at CHA

ColorArtz had a booth where we were able to decorate a tee shirt using the air brush system, so simple and easy!  I did the scrunch shirt method and hot pink paint then black paint.  I have been wanting try this since seeing Terri O did a video of the paints...very fun and easy!

Creating at CHA

CHA was a blast, so much to see and do I could have spent another day crafting!  Mary and I were busy looking, shopping, helping and creating...this picture is of the two of us making a card using eksuccess Martha Stewart punches, and some beautiful Jolee's stickers.
