The photo and the journaling are so powerful! I love the transparent effect with the square cutouts. Thanks for sharing... prayers for your brother's safe return~!
This is just beautiful. . . The vellum overlay with the cutouts is a very unique touch that softens the bright colors allowing the message of this layout to stand out. Your journaling was so touching. This layout definitely honors the sacrifice that your brother, his unit, and all of their families make during this time. Beautiful work!
I forgot to add the words printed on the vellum overlay are Freedom, Courage, Loyalty, Honor, Soldier and Hero. Please forgive the minor typo in the journaling as I was really tired when I printed it and didn't realize it. Thanks.
This is my contribution to the scrap the same pic challenge. I used Bazzill cardstock and for the flag photo did a printed vellum overlay with window cutouts. I asked my brother in Iraq to choose a pic for me to use and this is what he sent me. The journaling reads: Sacrifice - My brother had been in Iraq for 4 1/2 months when we learned of the death of the first soldier in his unit. We had gotten use to a sense of security but were rapidly reawakened to the ever present threat of war and the high cost of freedom. Let us never forget that freedom is often paid for with the blood of others. Never forget what our brave men and women sacrifice for us each and every day.
