I'm so sorry for what your mum had to deal with, but you've created such a cheery, bright layout to display this photo. I just love the combo of colors & patterns. The curves and ups & downs of the template you used really contribute to your story.

I really like the different angles, curves, and shapes on this page! The papers you chose are very compatible. I like the clipboard journaling spot and the use of themed elements is very well done!
