I know I'm not all too obsessed on having date and journaling in every page, I can't be exclusively scrapping chronologically, but lately I have been trying not to repeat photos and apply the challenges for pages that we have intention to print..... never thought the urge of having date and explaining the photo would be so great....so, complying with the challenge I didn't, but, just in case you are interested, here is the story:

Photo from last week, left to right Sarita (DD) myself (looking dreadful, and this after Christa aka cfile edited my beard out LOL, I sent her the photos because she met Nelma when we met in person back a few years ago) and Nelma, she was my carer for 5 years and grew to be part of the family, she had to stop working because her rheumatoid arthritis got bad, but as we always promised each other, we remain more than friends, more like family, we talk relatively often She gave me a call that she was coming to visit a few days before, took us to the Starbucks we have 2 minutes from us, we had a big moan about life in general, also a great laugh. Nelma is from Angola (was one of the African Portuguese colonies) our culture is, if not the same, very very similar, so the way to see the world is also similar and easier to have a great laugh....

edit to add was I almost forgot the most important bit!
I started with Cheryl's new templates, I took away things to comply with the challenge, slightly move the position and ended up getting carried away and added 500 layers more of elements.... but the template(I think!) is there :)

Fantastic layout. I love the photo and the explosion of pink. I love the pretty clusters and all the fun details like the feathers and the hearts. Beautiful take on the challenge. Love it!
 
I love the flow of flowers here! SO pretty!! Love the picture and the beautiful monochromatic pink! :wub:
 
I like the angle and fun pink flowers, this is fun. The way you did the dark pink stamp flower behind the flower element is a great idea for added dimension.
 
Love love LOVE this layout! The variety of shades of pink you used give it such depth and energy, and your clustering and shadowing is, as always, sheer perfection. I completely agree with what you said about struggling to keep to the challenge limitations and not include any more words beyond the title. Thank you for sharing the back-story with us, and I hope that you'll add in the journaling either directly on the background or as a facing page before you print it. We are delighted you joined us for the 2024 Summer Games here at the Sweet Shoppe, and thank you for playing along with the August 31st "Uno" challenge!
