But today I want to share another layout I created this month using the Journey kit by Scrapbooking From the Inside Out. I decided to tackle another "serious" topic that has been on my mind the past few years. My religion and my faith. Let's just say there have been times that I hit a few bumps in the road. The deaths of two good friends to cancer was a big loss for so many and a huge blow to me. So I decided to do a page about the path I have been following related to my faith. I have to say it was a little bit of a relief to journal about this.
This layout was also featured in a post on the Creating Keepsakes blog with other design team member layouts. You can see the post here along with the chance to receive the October kit from SFTIO just by leaving a comment there.
I hope you have a great Tuesday and thanks for stopping by today!
Ah yes, it's always about the food, especially when the food is a dessert. LOL! :) This is such a lovely layout, Mary Jo! Beautiful, soft colors. I love how the three photos correspond to the journaling columns.
ReplyDeletesuper layout mary jo!
ReplyDeleteOh my...yes, look at that cake! lol
ReplyDeleteBeautiful page. Great job journaling such a deep subject.
Gorgeous page! I love these older photos. I was raised Catholic too but barely remember my first communion. My parents didn't take any photos - which shows how into they were. This really is a great "me" page and I love how you did this. I may have a First Communion card in my childhood box. I'm going to look for it and put a page like this on my list of to do item. Thanks for the inspiration! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, and it must have been very therapeutic for you. The cake part made me diddle. :)
ReplyDeleteOh for pete's sake! GIGGLE! Not diddle. Note to self - don't type so fast.
DeleteThis is a beautiful page!
ReplyDeleteI love your journaling. Everyone has their own journey with their faith, and it is such a wonderful thing to document. AJ and I are also Catholic, but weren't very active, we rarely went to church, and I know prayer wasn't a daily part of my life. Now that we have completed our pre cana, we are really getting back into it. I think this would be a great thing for us to document as part of our pre-wedding album! Thank you for the idea!!
What a gorgeous page!! I just love how you used the old photos and your journaling is wonderful as always.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got to spend a weekend together!
wonderful page! love the simple design with the older photos and journaling! and that cake! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove it all....the colors, the journaling being so heartfelt, and the kids reaction to the cake(which should be documented as well). Thanks so much for your sharing....hoping to scraplift this.
ReplyDeleteI love the older photos. And it is good to scrap more about ourselves, including faith.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful layout. I love the colors. Of course the kids mention the cake! Haha!
ReplyDeleteLovely layout and a great thing to get down and journal :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty. Love the journaling.
ReplyDeleteGreat layout...I struggle with my faith but raised one true believer. She still attends and takes her kids to catechism lclasses, volunteers, etc. She married a man from the Memmonite faith and her has always supported his children learning her religion.
ReplyDeleteLove all the precious bits of info on this layout!
I love this layout, both from a design perspective and the sentiment behind it. Good for you for journaling about your faith. It's not something I've seen a lot of, or something I've done much of myself. I think it's time I get some of my own faith onto my pages.
ReplyDeleteThat is a big cake! Ha! Loved that you scrapped this, beautiful! And congrats on being on CK blog.
