I digiscrapping and my favorite place to scrap online has been with my friends at Deco-Pages! I was a member Creative Team for 4 1/2 years and had the opportunity to make LOs for all the wonderful designers at Deco-Pages. The site is now closed and I miss it so VERY much!

I am taking a break from my digital scrapping...but to prevent withdrawal symptoms, I am on two Creative Teams for now! Check out their blogs and watch here for my layouts with their great kits!

In Memory of Allie Rae


I printed out as many of the LOs I had made of Allie Rae through the years that I could find in the short time I had before Allie Rae's funeral.  I placed them in a mini-album and gave it to her daughter, Sue.  I'm sure I will find more over time that I can print and add to the album.  Here are the ones I have found so far. 

 I used this QP from Retro Designs Kit "Satin and Lace".  The "young" photo was cropped from the family photo shown in the next LO made using Helen's kit "Victoriana"!


The LO shows some of the Taylor Family early photos and contains a quote of Allie Rae's about these photos.  "This is how it looked every Sunday...old cars and kids everywhere!"
The LO was made using Helen's kit "Scraps of Memories".

This QP was from Helen's "Golden Memories" kit!

The next two pages were made and printed back to back to make a birthday card for Allie Rae's 90th Birthday.  Several of Helen's kits were combined to make this card.

 One of my favorite memories of Luke and Allie Rae made with this wonderful QP from Retro Designs kit "All That Glitters"!  I used the same QP for this photo of Luke giving Sue a "goodbye" hug!
 The next two were made with Retro Designs QPs from the Kit "Purple Passion"!


Most of these LOs of Allie Rae were made using Retro Design kits; however, I found a few that were made using other Deco Pages designers' kits.  This first one is one of my favorite LOs with Avery and Allie Rae.  I used a Deco Chat Attendance reward kit "Mama Loves Roses by Kathie Woolery.

 I'll have to redo this someday as this is Avery's great-great aunt.

The next two were made with Choccy Delight Kit by ShhhScrapz



This LO was made using multiple DP designer kits.  We all celebrated Thanksgiving with Allie Rae in 2009...great memory for these 2nd cousins!  Allie Rae's daughter, Sue, had 4 of her grandchildren present and I had 5 of mine...we are both Nana.  That explains the title used here!

  1. Oh my, Laj. What a lovely and loving journey through the years of Allie Rae. Her daughter will treasure your beautiful pages and be able to pass them down in her family. Lots of memories for us of Deco-Pages days too.

  2. My condolences, I am sorry for your loss. Your pages will be a treasure for your family, and I am sure Allie Rae's daughter will cherish them too. Sending you hugs.

  3. You managed to raise some goose bumps with this wonderfully touching tribute to this fine old lady. This is quite a remarkable collection of pages to celebrate a long and eventful life. I agree with Jean and Deb. You´ve given Allie Rae´s daughter - and also future generations - something to treasure forever.
