Photo Details
Poster: scrapladyandmore  (see this users gallery)

Been sorting through DH's family photos and thought this one of DH's sister would be great with the new kit Victoriana by Retro Designs.

I added the butterflies from this kit to the LO as they are a symbol of new life. Sharon began a new heavenly life with the Lord on August 9, 1962 when she and 6 other youth on their way to a church picnic were struck by a train. It was a devastating day for a community of 2,000...5 of the 7 attended the same High School. The other 2 were from small towns near by. Sharon was 16 years old. DH was 10 years old and a classmate of mine. My memory of the day was the string of cars passing my house on the way to the hospital and the memorial that hung in the High School with photos of these 5 young students. A bitter sweet LO to make...but wonderful memory for my DDs of an aunt they never had the privilege of knowing.

I recognized the era from the dress - which I thought was a lovely time to be a girl, but such a sad and tragic story. Glad you have this picture to make a lasting memory with. The circle frame really draws one in to the picture. Good job.

Sharon's story is so sad and tragic, but a wonderful gift to your children and future generations to get to know her through your beautiful page. That is what scrapbooking is all about. I think this is a beautiful tribute to your DHs Sister, Victoriana by Retro was a perfect kit choice, and your composition is lovely. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

Such a sad and really tragic story but you´ve made a perfectly stunning page as a tribute to Sharon. I didn´t know that butterflies were a symbol of new life and I´m so glad I included them in the kit. Thank you for using Victoriana for this very touching tribute.
