April's Take Twelve

Today I get to share my Take Twelve layout with you all. I'm really enjoying this challenge over at Ella's Publishing! I have to admit this was a very difficult day for my family(see below) but we ended it with some fun springy things. For this layout I used the April kit from Scrapbook Circle.

So the difficult part of the day was the morning when we had to lay to rest my hubby's pap. Our family was very close to him. He was a great man who taught my husband so much and loved our kids greatly. Those are his cows you see. Aren't they cute?! The one had to be bottle fed.


I made the paper like a card and wrote on the inside behind the picture.

And then we came home and the kids rode bike, blew bubbles, flew kites, and just had fun. It's what you need after an emotional morning.
Here are some close ups of the layout. The flower was plain so I took paint and mist and colored the flower.

    So sorry to hear about your loss Angie. So glad you are taking part in Take 12! I'm loving it too, although not as on top of my layouts!

    So sorry for your loss. There's something very touching about a picture from the funeral together with pictures of flowers blooming and children at play.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. You did a beautiful job with this layout. I really love the circle photos and the fact that you got so many pics in without it looking cluttered.

    I really like how you approached a difficult day. My husband's grandfather died two years ago on April 12th (the first time I did Take Twelve) and I was completely thrown for a loop with how to approach it (I ended up using just photos that included him through the years). I'm so glad I did that, because I know he would have approved of me sticking with it. My greatest sympathies to you and your family.
