Everything about this layout makes me hungry. My Mom was the best cook I've ever known. I miss talking to her about recipes and getting her advice on everything from food to relationships...and everything in between. She was a great listener and stayed calm, and gave advice when I asked for it. I'm still learning from her, even though she's been gone for five years. I miss her so much. Pulling out her recipes brings her memories closer.
I try not to make much dessert because I end up eating it. I still probably eat more of it than I should. This apple crisp hits the spot on a cool day once apples are in season. Yum!
This one page layout was inspired by my Mom's recipe in the picture. I would have loved her company while I peeled, cored, and sliced all the apples by hand. Even though she wasn't here with me, so many of her memories came flooding in.
Before I start sobbing...how about this layout? I created a down-home, country look with the red bandana patterned paper, the simple black and white checkerboard and the scrap of paper that looks like a handwritten letter. Lots of layers, and even some patriotic paper. The apple is a Design Space Image as well as the title. I like to scooch the letters together and weld them as much as possible. It just looks more designed to me than separate letters on the page. Plus, they're all lined up properly.
Hope you enjoy the layout, and the recipe if you choose to try it out. She won blue ribbons for her cherry pie. Maybe I will have to make that some time, and take some pics for a future layout. My husband would love that. 😉
