This is such a beautiful and awesome heritage page. I really enjoyed reading your story! and I love your layout! Everything about is absolutely fantastic!
That is an awesome page. I love the story telling about the history of these two men and their adventure. And such creativity in pulling it all together on the page with various elements that all tie together.
WOW - Looking at your work of art, it is fantastic but then reading your description makes it so much more impressive. Your stamping is super and adds so much. You covered so many interesting details. It is a fantastic layout and tribute. TFS
Patty, I almost had to nap after I read how you stamped and cut that vine....then I kept reading and reading and reading....cuz this is one of the BEST heritage pages I've ever seen! OMGOSH! I don't need to take classes cuz I can just visit your gallery and read your descriptions of the lo's and learn TONS AND TONS! Most of all, the photo and story behind it are truly amazing. And you captured it all perfectly on one page! I bow before you....yes, I do. :)

Wow! What a fabulous story! The map is a great touch and the photo is amazing, but what makes this a priceless layout is that wonderful journaling that tells the story!
Well, well, where to start Patty???????? Loved reading the story behind this fantastically designed and balanced page, it's delightful to look at it!!!
I loved reading about this page almost as much as I enjoy looking at it! Wish I could see that wax technique in real life. I haven't ever tried wax, but love the look of it. I love that you included the map too. An absolutely fabulous page!!!!
Wow-you sure delivered on this LO Patty!! It's awesome -so glad you took the time to tell how you did everything-love your techniques and the journaling is perfect! This is into my favs so I can look at it again and be inspired! Jen
Awesome! That ribbon is a perfect touch and the way you did the journaling rocks! Love the shape the title takes! And I thought that photo was a stock photo from the olden days or something :) -- TOO perfect -- what a treasure!!!!
This is amazing, Patty! You've done the guys proud in this page and I'm sure they'd be pleased to see themselves immortalized this way. It's a favorite for me!
Your details are absolutely amazing! what a sensational layout! and what a great photo! This is why we do what we do!!!! there is sooo much to love here! love your stamping...love the wax seal (how awesome does that look - and thanx for sharing tips to doing it) your cut-work...I recently read that it is called "fussy cutting" is divine! I know what that takes to do! & such amazing results! and thanx for sharing that font! it is divine! definitely a fave!
Ditto to everything Shawn (Micupoftea) just stated. This could be a winner in the April Heritage Challenge. Love that font and the photo is priceless. Great story too.
OMGosh, what a wonderful layout! I love your stamping, distressing, and even the font you chose for your journaling! How wonderful that you had such a great photo, too! Awesome layout, and straight into my faves!!!
On this LO I used mostly embellies and paper that I've had for quite some time. I stamped the little black vine and hand cut it, inked, distressed and used some new scissors. Thank you, Shawn!!! Also stamped the compass, the four corners and the frame around "Harry and Ebert". On some of my heritage LO's I use a font called "1942 report" which is perfect, as it has the kind of typing you might get from an old, worn out typewriter. I added a clockface transparency, Prima flowers, a heart from my stash, a nostalgic looking stamp that is by K & Co. Also, I used a very old brown, plastic buckle from my mother's button box. I have a confession... little Patty's been playing with matches!!! I made the wax seal in the kitchen with the vent turned on so the fire alarm wouldn't go off!!! I like to drip the wax onto a piece of aluminum foil, then let it harden before glueing it on a LO. It's easier to get the seal exactly where you want it, rather than dripping the wax directly onto the LO. I also used some Tim Holtz gears and filmstrip ribbon. The tape at the bottom, I think is from 7 Gypsies....not real sure about that...have had it for about 6 years. Last, I cut out the definition of "adventure" from an old dictionary and inked it. Last, I added the little heart from my stash. Used some corrugated cardboard painted with Crackle Paint, as well.
Now, for the story of the Journey: The young men in the picture are my grandfather, Ebert (R) and his younger brother, Harry (L). During World War I, they enlisted in the U.S. Navy. After the end of the war, they were honorably discharged from the Navy at San Diego. At that time, they both bought motorcycles and had their own amazing journey from California to Texas. What an exciting time that must have been for the two young sailors! I'm sure they had some amazing stories to tell about their journey! I thought it would be nice to add a map of the U.S. to show the distance. I have no idea what the true route was like, and I'm SURE that it wsn't a straight line between San Diego and Houston....but the map does give the viewer an idea of how far they had to travel.
