Have you ever created page...

[Leah]

That made you bawl like a baby?

Was it the picture? The journalling?
The memory??


I'm just about finished my page for the 5/8 SWTSB challenge (https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27863) and I am practically sobbing! {loser} hehe Music is a powerful thing!!

[newfiemountiewife]

I have one that I'm half finished, with a song lyric that is so sweet. I just decided to do it yesterday, and I almost cry every time I read it, because it's perfect.

ETA the song is, not the LO, that's why it's only half done LOL

[scrapperjade]

I have as well. It was for a challenge about fear and what it means for you. I did this page for it: http://www.acherryontop.com/gallery_viewer/,14435473,cid,,64,,65996

I still can't read the journalling without tearing up, but at the time I was bawling.

I did a layout about my mom right after her death and it really choked me up. What was really cool about that layout is that Scrap N Art magazine published it in their Mother's Day article. Made me feel like it was a sweet tribute to my mom... which of course made me cry.

I do this pretty regularly...just about PMS time every month. ;)

Sensing a trend? I have so many pages that make me cry. I think that's one of the best parts of this hobby though, how it evokes emotions from you, from the people who see your pages. I find layouts like these to be cathartic, therapeutic. Sure, I hate crying, but sometimes it's something that needs to happen.

just finished this one for the SWTSB challenge

the lyrics didn't use to make me cry...but my son recently told me he selected this song to be the one for the Mother/Son dance at his wedding in October...oh man am I going to be a blubbering idiot :)

[SamaraGugler]

heartbreak (https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=36074&ppuser=4280)

the journaling was so hard for me to do... it was hard for me to put it into words.

One I did for ADSR this year did that to me. (I added the layout I did last year. It isnt frm this site so I hope thats ok)

I also have started one as kinda a letter to my mother who died in january of 2007. We had been estranged for awhile before she died and there were alot of things I really wanted to say to her but one single page just would not be enough space. I always end up crying and upset and delete the page because a good part of me is still not ready to let go of the anger/hurt I feel. One day I hope I will be able to do that layout to let go of some of those feelings but it hasnt happened yet.

[AnnieBananie]

I created a page a while back that was so emotional for me that I had to delete it from my galleries because people kept commenting on it and so it got bumped to the front where I had to look at it nearly every day... when I started avoiding my galleries, I knew it was time to just be rid of it. I've got it on my EHD but not in public anymore. That's pretty powerful, I'd say.

[ZaCola3]

Ohhh yes for sure!

This is the one of mine that makes me cry. There are probably others - but this one is the kicker:

[LeeAndra]

Sure. Anything that has to do with my biological father makes me cry. I made this 2 page spread in 2004. It still gets me... especially now as I am having my own daughter who I am simultaneously glad and jealous that she will grow up in the same house as her biological father.

Every time I try to do a page about my grandpa. We lost him in January '08 and I still have a hard time thinking about him without tearing up. I have a great picture of the kids with him in December '07 that I want to scrap but nothing seems to do it justice. I get the photo on and start scrapping and then just end up deleting the entire thing because it just isn't good enough for all the beautiful memories that picture represents. One of these days . . . :)

[Winter Ivy]

I usually shy away from journaling on my pages because I just haven't gotten to that point where I feel like my scrapping skills could do justice the the emotion that so often goes into journaling. There is one page that I did about my friends' stillborn son that makes me sad and I cried a lot while I was making it. I love it now because I think it conveys all the ugliness and chaos and heartbreak that was going around at that time.

Annie - A couple of pages you have done have made me cry! One I think could have been the one you mentioned above and the other was one that was titled something about "You let me drown." Both really emotinally hardhitting and heartfelt pages.

I almost always get the sniffles from La's journaling, lol.
