Another one of my layouts was published on the Prima blog! This time it’s a lo of me when I was so much younger. As you can see I started crafting early and this photo was taken when I was sitting in the garden doing needle work of some kind.

This layout is with a photo of my grandma and mom when they were both much younger. This is one of my favorite photos to scrap and I have made a few layouts with it already. The photo was an inspiration as well, not only in the sense of the colors and theme of the lo, but also in the main feature of the lo: the crochet. Crochet has always reminded me of my grandma and mom. I remember the crochets in my grandma’s leaving room and I remember my mom sitting on the …
