Ich habe mich sehr gefreut, als ich vor ein paar Monaten gefragte wurde, ob ich zu einem bestimmten Thema Gastdesigner bei Creative Therapy sein möchte. Ich bin ein großer Fan der dortigen Themen und Designer. Ausgewählt habe ich das Thema “eine besonders schmerzvolle Erinnerung”. Meiner Meinung nach sollte man beim Scrappen auch Gefühle und Erinnerungen festhalten – in diesem Falle war es besonders schwer – das Layout ist mir nicht leichtgefallen – aber es war auch ein wenig befreiend.

I was really excited when I was asked to be a guestdesigner for Creative Therapy a couple months ago. I’m a big fan of the themes and designers of this blog. I chose the theme “a painful memory”. In my humble opinion Scrapbooking is also about feelings and memories – but in this case it was really difficult – I had a hard time with my layout -but it was also a bit freeing.

*The Last Time*

Journaling Reads:

My stepfather died in Italy – while I was in Venice – not too far away. We had talked on the phone and I told him that I would come and visit him in a couple weeks. When I came home my Mom called me – he had a stroke and fell off his bikes in the mountains. I was so sad – even after my parents got divorced I vistited him every month staying in my old room. After the funeral I went to our “Home”. I loved this old little house with the vine all over. It hurt so much to open the door knowing that I would never come back. He had my room prepared for my next visit – new bedsheets and my big teddy bear sitting n the bed. I cried the whole time saying good bye to him and my home. I miss you so much, Dad! 10 years later- still!!!

The overall look is pretty busy and cloudy – but is exactly reflecting my emotional feelings when I created this layout thinking about my memories. All blurred up – a clean and simple layout would have never fit for me.

Supplies: Danyeela Patterned Paper, Rose Mokka Papers, Prima Overlay, Prima Felt Fim Strip, Heidi Swapp Chipboard Letters, 7 Gypsies Tag, Grungeboard Key, Acrylic Paints, Crackle Accents, Punchinella.

 Schaut Euch auf jeden Fall die anderen Layouts an – sie berühren sehr!

Take a look at all the other layouts– they are very touching!
