What a wonderful tribute to your dad, love the way you brought out all these qualities you see in your dad and linked it to the way you feel about fatherhood! Totally love the retro look of this page too! (Both my mom and dad are from Germany too, Gelsenkirchen, I have a bunch of photos of them from back then - great idea to do a reto page!! TFS!
This is very cool. I LOVE the retro paper(especially the 50s fashion silhouettes), but there's A LOT going on on this page. What about toning down the retro pictures on the background(like muting them into the background a little more)? I LOVE the layout--the shape of the main photo and the way you arranged and captioned the surrounding photos.
Love it! The colors are great and I love the texture. What great "stamps" and I love the road sign shape. Oh, and I REALLY want that Treasure Map Deadhand font. It would be great for my son's pirate pages. Is it yours? Great lo!
I decided I needed to use some of those old pictures sitting in an album going back before I was born. My dad's always been a Jack of All Trades. He grew up as a boy in WW II Germany and came to the US and an immigrants visa so he could visit all of his relatives here longer. The US promptly drafted him into the Army. He learned english there and was in Elvis's army troop.
All my life I felt lucky to have my dad. He was never short on hugs or spankings. He kept my brother and I in line, but loved us and made sure we were happy to the best of his abilities.
So I was happy about the opportunity to do a layout for this theme that shows how much he means to me.
I wanted to use the old pictures so I had to create a whole retro set of pp to go with them. I ended up making about twenty of these in different shades and patterns until I decided I had a proper set to match the photo's. If you like them let me know and I'll see if I can create a kit based around them. Lord knows I have enough components for a kit now.
