Family


Third post for today - this layout is for the flowers challenge at Lasting Memories. The photo is of my great-grandparents and their 13 children. This is going to be the first page for the album that will contain all the layouts I've been doing of each of these children's weddings, anniversaries and families.

Definition of Hero



This week's challenge at Frosted Designs is to make a card, layout or project with an armed forces/patriotic theme.  This is the second half of a double page layout made with the pictures I found yesterday of my uncle during WWII.  The title came about when I looked up HERO in the thesaurus and it said noble courage.

Noble Courage


This layout is for the challenge to use stars at The Paper Variety - need to link by noon. Nothing like uploading at the last minute.  The photos are of my mom's brother John, taken during WWII. I found the photos yesterday while cleaning out totes of "stuff to keep" in the basement.

One Love


 The challenge at Design Dollies is to follow the sketch below. My layout is of my dad's uncle Felix and aunt Laura on their wedding day in 1937.

Sisters

The challenge at Once Upon A Sketch is to use this sketch and to have typewritten journaling.


I made a layout with a picture of my mother-in-law and her sister. I believe the picture to have been taken in the mide 1950s.

Artful Delight #8


This layout is based on sketch #8 from Artful Delight. I had to go out for a few minutes and left my two year old (fully clothed) grandson with his 15 year old cousin. When I got home the older grandson was playing a game on his laptop, the baby had no pants, shoes or socks on, and the featherduster was in a million pieces. The older one said the baby can't be in trouble, he was sitting here the entire time and didn't make a sound.

Master Yoda



This layout covers two challenges, the sketch above from Artful Delight #6, and movie inspiration from The Paper Variety.  My grandson was showing me his Master Yoda moves from Star Wars.
