The Teacher

Cheska says, KAYA!

This layout is about my grandmother who has not only been an academic teacher by profession but has been my teacher about very important things in life. Making this layout allowed me to look back and ponder on all that she has imparted to me. It was especially light to make as the 'pearl' motif speaks so much of her. Plastering pearls all over the layout indeed made me smile. thanks janis for this opportunity to scrap something so close to my heart :)
