the LUCKY ones

This week on Scrapping the Music, they are paying tribute to an inspiring movie, "The Blind Side." The movie's theme song, "Chances Are" by Five for Fighting is this week's featured STM song. And what a great song it is. You should go check them out - all of the design team really outdid themselves with their awesome pages!


I was inspired to make a page about my dear big sister, Cathy, who passed away some years ago from ovarian cancer, a sneaky and very terrible disease.
The photo is of my twin sister, Karen, and me with Cathy.
We are truly the lucky ones to have known her!!

I used sketch # 010211 by Suepup at scrapbook.com and my February Swirlydoos kit as a basis for my page.
