Since there are different categories people might be posting their pages to, I thought we could have a thread here, where we could post pages that won't get lost in the shuffle!

So share those pretties here in one long beautiful thread.

I just opened the gallery...and got all misty seeing all the Mixed Media April pages...I am blown away by the collection this month...and your pages...the heart and soul that have been poured out on these pages is outstanding!
I did three pages with it so far, it is was a journey of pain and struggle...with my 16 year old....just being a butt...and as Moms you know how much your kids can hurt...cause we love them so darn much.
here is the first...that I could barely see making, cause I literally was weeping making the page:

It was an all nighter....the conversations, the accusations, the tears, the anger...and finally everyone went to bed...I could not sleep...my brain was in turmoil over the insanity of my little boy...just being a butt. I cried out, and finally...in exaustion, scrapped, but as I made the page, dawn was peeking thru my windows...the realization of hope and prayer being REAL...poured onto the page:

finally, peace...and I did not want to stay angry or upset...so I started looking at photos of my teen from the day he arrived in our heart and home...and now I was loving him all over again using the template in the kit along with much of the add-ons:

The best news...is today, a mere 2 weeks since all the turmoil, is laughing and washing his Dad's truck out front. He had a really good job interview today for a lifeguard..oh I so hope he gets it...and we are a family.
 
Good idea!!!

Love seeing these. It makes me want to go and jump into it too!
Have had some unexpected very busy days aka week and I need some creative relaxing moments!

Just what M3 is all about!!!

And my WIP can be found here.
 
From the moment I saw this kit it runs through my head...
In the past years there were so many 'dark' moments in my life, this is a perfect kit to help me scrap about the most difficult times.
I made this page, it's a picture of me and my husband, the day before he died at age 37

I'm so sorry for your loss, but ever so grateful to you for sharing your heart with us. An awesome page, I'm so pleased we created this theme for M3... it seems to have been something for everyone. xx
 
What a beautiful page! I am so sorry for your loss. That is so hard to believe. I can remember age 36 and having cancer and the feelings of so much life ahead. I can't imagine starting over at that point. I'm so glad you were able to scrap some of those feelings.
 
Thank you so much for your sweet words!
It helps me to talk, and in this case scrap about our story. By talking about him, he will never be forgotten
 
And by talking or scrapping (a form of talking) it helps you work through feelings. I highly recommend scrapping therapy -- I did one of my mom after her death. It helped so much!
 
Such a powerful page and heartbreaking story. I also believe scrapping is a form of art therapy that can really help us.
