Scrapbook Layout about my mom from 2007

About the time my maternal grandmother turned 70, the extended family has tried to gather in late January to celebrate her birthday. This photo shows grandma with 1 of her brothers and her 4 surviving children taken at her last birthday gathering to celebrate #93!!! She lived until 23 days before #94...However I've scrapbooked this because next weekend my siblings and I will be hosting an open house to celebrate our mom's #80!!! Goodness, the years are going quickly.

My mom's favorite color is blue, so my compiled November kit for CKC blog has worked out well for focusing on old snapshots that include my mom.

tried to focus on blue-gray, gray, yellow/beige

And from the below kit photo, you can see the blue cardstock base and the blueish gray patterned cardstock coordinating prints:
