Remember this

This LO was especially difficult yet therapeutic for me. The challenge from Lasting Memories this week was a Remember challenge LMC216, a LO in memory of someone. The person I chose to do a LO of is my beautiful sister Debbie May that passed away suddenly at the age of 57 this summer. Debbie was such a kind, fun, warm hearted person that enjoyed nature, animals and photography. To me she was just as beautiful behind her camera as she was in front of it. When I fist stated this page it was difficult just to look at her pictures but then as I handled them I felt warmth in my heart, I touched them gently and lovingly and found it hard to put them down...As the page developed... it became easier and easier to create and embellish as I used her love and affection for life and artistry as my inspiration. I miss my big sister every day, I love these photos and love how this page helped me mend some of the broken pieces of my heart.
The sketch that I used for inspiration is from Lets Get Sketchy it is the Nov week 2 sketch.
