William & Grace

Happy Friday everybody - here is my take on the latest sketch over at Stuck On U Sketches....



The sketch, by DT member Crafty-Ness....



Again working with my Lime Tart May 2011 A La Tarte.....



Papers are the gorgeous "Laced with Grace" Collection from Glitz....



The huge flower is Prima, as is the bling and pearls flourish, which I chopped up to fit my layout....



The wee letters are Basic Grey....



The photograph is my great uncle William (my maternal Grandmother's brother) and his first wife, Grace. I never knew Aunt Grace, she died before I was born....

But, I remember Uncle Willie, one of my 'old uncles'.....

I had three 'old uncles', Robert, Willie and John. They always used to give us money for sweets when we would go on holiday to Scotland (I grew up in the RAF, away from Scotland). None of the uncles had any children, and they, and the aunties, are all gone now....

This is where I hope my scrapbooking will preserve their existence for generations to come - no more nameless photo's.....



Thanks again to the beautiful girls at SOUS and their fortnightly sketches - they keep my scrapping mojo alive....

And not forgetting the fantastic kits I get each month from Lime Tart - thanks Philippa.....

Hugs
