Sue's Scraps and Snippets

Hi everybody! I can't believe it's been a whole week since I've posted. So, maybe I do have a life after all! Actually, I'm shifting into quilting mode now that the weather's turning colder. I've got some flannel squares ready to go to make some rag quilts. They are so soft and cuddly. I'm making one for my 3-month-old granddaughter and one for my almost-22-year-old daughter (shhh, don't tell, it's a surprise).
Well, back to scrapbooking! It's SPCC #19, and these are great colors. Every week, Samantha has wonderful color combos and a great prize for the winner. This week's sponsor is Susan Zuzarte. She is so talented and energetic. Be sure to check out her blog and the great prize!
The picture in this LO was taken in July, while I was in Wisconsin. My twin sister had just lost her husband quite unexpectedly, so we gathered for a memorial service. My family does a great job of celebrating life and sending off a lost loved one. This was the first time in many years that my dad and all seven of my siblings were together, so we could not let the opportunity pass. The title says it all.
I used SU Close to Cocoa for the base, and cut circles (with Coluzzle) out of Green Galore, Taken With Teal, and DCWV Pocket Full of Posies. The letters were cut using the old Big Shot. The left side of the base was stamped with VersaMark using TAC's Simply Divine. I then went over it with a Stardust Clear Gelly pen to add sparkle. The flowers are Prima, highlighted withCarolee Sparkles (which I have had for years). Can you tell that I love Sparkle and bling?
