"GRACE was in her steps, ...

...heaven in her eye" - John Milton...

I've created this LO in loving memory of my late MIL, Rita Cairns...I thought the quote fitted perfectly when I went hunting for an appropriate embellishment.

  Not only did Rita live her life as a very devout Roman Catholic, she prayed the Rosary for 'grace' and that she live where she was handy to a priest when it came to receiving 'the last rights'...

 I specially used the music chipboard because Rita was an opera singer in her younger days. Rita and her (late) husband Joe loved all kinds of music and usually purchased season tickets to the NZ Symphony Orchestra when he was alive.

I took the photo at Mercy Parklands in December 2009 when visiting Rita with my DH.

I am submitting this for two challenges:

• Scrapping Outback's February sketch challenge, set by Jules:

• Charm's Creations bi-monthly challenge: "to use ast least one heart, misting paint and most importantly at least one Charm's Creations embellishment"

Supplies I've used: cardstock: Bazzill; pps unknown and Tim Holtz scraps from stash; Lovely Lollipop : Charm's Creations (cream & white misted ); quote tag: My Mind's Eye ; flowers : My2Angels; punch: EK Success; heart charm: Tim Holtz; glimmer mist: Tattered Angels (black cherry); music chipboard: Dusty Attic DA0351(at Scrapping Outback shop); Transparent Heart: Kutalicious (coloured with pink kinderglitz and alcohol ink);  other: ribbon, rhinestone, Tim Holtz distress stain (vintage photo); Glossy Accents and Helmar 450 quick dry adhesive.

Hopefully I will have more tomorrow, so I hope you're having a great weekend. TFL {hugs'n'hearts} xxx Mazz xxx
