Happy Hellos!


My name is Anna and I'm a Pole living recently in Airdrie (near Calgary in Canada), hopeless in love with paper. Usually sitting in my studio between 8pm and midnight, if my energy lasts that long after another day with a toddler Jakob and a baby Lisa. I love to share my crafts with you, please be my guest!

Marysia- gone too soon....

....I planned this layout years ago, but somehow didn't manage to do that..... The layout has a picture of very special person, my cousin, who left us much too soon, 13 years ago... She wasn't even 20 years old....
Marysia was a gentle, funny person. People like to have her around. She was the youngest of all of us seven cousins. After I left Poland, she was always in touch with me via snail mail. That was very supportive in the first immigration years for me.
She was very caring ~ she loved feathers ~ she wrote beautiful poetry... I so wish to be able to spend more time with her....


I was inspired by the quote from the challenge Once upon the sketch: "You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough". Journaling: a personal letter on the back of the page....


Thanks for your warm words,

  3. How on earth did you get that swirly white background? It looks STUNNING...& dare i say, a little like I imagine 'heaven' to be:) Soo fitting - & to get the feathers onto the page, it makes it a lovely tribute to the person your cousin is [I won't say was, because I'm sure she's there, looking over you:)]......this is a fabulous page in it's own right, but with the emotional connections as well...totally takes it to the next level. I'm so glad for you that you were finally able to scrap it - & for us that you chose to share it at OUAS. Thank you:):)
