Memorial Day flowers layout

Happy Monday!  I hope your quarantine is going alright.  All the kids in my household seem to be getting used to this new normal, although we seem to be operating on the college schedule of up til 3:00 AM and start the day at noon.  But since no one has to be up early for online class and I work the night shift, it's all good.  My husband already worked from home, so his daily routine hasn't been disrupted at all.  We are all missing seeing family and friends, but are doing our social distancing to stay safe.

Our BBTB2 challenge for the next two weeks is a flower theme.  Mother's Day and Memorial Day are all around the corner and spring flowers are already here, so there are a lot of possibilities with this challenge.  While my scrapbook layout incorporates flowers, it is for some pictures related to Memorial Day so I used very neutral colors.  I have some photos of items from my grandparents' funerals and gravesite that I have always wanted to preserve.  I used several of the CTMH cricut cartridges that I own to make all the accents and the Botanicals cartridge for the font.  You can see the design team projects and link up one of your own over at BBTB2.

  1. this will be such a lovely layout for the photos. I sometimes feel awkard but I take lots of photos at funerals. It is a moment to be preserved. And it's only funerals and wedding where you get extended family and everyone is dressed up! Some of my favorite photos are of my nieces holding flags from my grandfather's military funeral. Thanks for sharing.

  3. I like the neutral colors and layout. It will work really well for the pictures you have in mind. My husband's family always decorates graves in the small cemetery near our house, but I have a feeling this year will be different.
