Sending cake to heaven.

My favorite thing about this page is the subject matter. These pictures were taken on my brother's birthday, because Eli insisted that we had to send a piece of birthday cake to Uncle Travis. This is the first opportunity I've had to scrap about the passing of my brother. Travis died 3 years before Eli was born and there isn't a day that goes by that I wish they had met each other. I always have and will continue to talk about Uncle Travis with Eli. He knows that he is in heaven. This year I suggested sending some balloons to him on his birthday, but that wasn't good enough. Eli wanted to send cake. We were very unsure if it would even work, but I had to give it a shot. Let's just say it was a tiny amount of cake due to weight and engineering problems.
I wanted this page to be fun and bright. It was a birthday celebration and I wanted it to look that way. I picked a playful piece of pattern paper. On top I framed it with some birthday ribbon, on bottom I
used a piece of washi tape. I love the white on white clouds. I cut them out with my Silhouette Cameo in various different textures of white and velum. I pulled a few clouds down into the picture area and paired them with some important words. I took the time to journal on this page because it was such a special occasion and I wanted the story to be told. Journaling tags seem to be my favorite lately.
Thoughtfulness is something Eli & Travis have in common. I am so proud. Always remember, never forget. Big T in the sky.
