What a week! I had been playing around with the Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge in my mind all week, but we've been so busy that just got the chance to work on it today. The challenge was:
Weekly Challenge #58: Family Mementos Challenge!
The Challenge: Scrapbook a page with a photograph of a special family memento. In your journaling, tell the story behind your special object.
Here is my take: my mother's family has a tradition of putting an old coin in the bride's shoe before she walks down the aisle. My father is putting the coin in my shoe. The coin is from Europe and was passed down from my Great-Grandmother to my Grandmother to my Mother and then to me. I only hope that I will have a girl someday to pass this onto.
I am also entering this in the Creative Color Challenge at I Came, I Saw, I Created.
Very Vanilla RGB: 255, 250, 226
More Mustard RGB: 212, 161, 80
Basic Grey: 118, 122, 121
Thanks for looking!
Love your page Liz and love the fun wedding tradition. I'm the mom of three boys as well and am quite sure that a daughter is not in the cards for me. I hope that you will have a daughter to share your tradition with.
