This is so beautiful and masculine at the same time! thank you so much for the sacrifices your making right now! It really is the entire family that is sacrificing when the loved one is gone...my prayers are with her!
Very heartwarming story and I will pray for your dds safekeeping. Beautiful layout and great photo. You aren't the only scrapper who wasn't scrapping. I couldn't but sure missed it.
BEAUTIFULLY done. The colors, distressing, inking and those lovely time pieces are a WONDERFUL combination, creating a FANTASTIC lo. TFS your story, loved reading the description. and God Bless your DD -may he keep her safe always.
Love your sentimental journaling and how you included your daughter in your day even though she is a world away keeping peace. This looks like a day well spent, and one to remember. It is also honorable and loving to do things that your husband enjoys. What a great wife and mom you are to give up NSD. And that Cowboy, well, he sure does take every opportunity to get in the photo, doesn't he?
Wow this is fantastic! the picture is great but you captured the whole feel of that time in your layout! Love the watch chain and color palette The subtle distress really add to the timeless. I hope your daughter stays as well and will be able to come home soon!
I think you have become my new fav scrapbooker. I may end up being your stalker...lol....jk...as I said earlier, I'm out of touch with so many new products. I started selling Stampin Up and EVERYTHING I did was to promote my business that has never gotten off the ground but at least I still get great CS for a great price...lol...I want glimmermist and now I really want crackle. Who makes it and where can I buy it? I love the clocks on your page and the flowers and that chain, AWESOME! Great work.
Wow this is gorgeous! I love that onion skin paper! What beautiful textures you did create on this! What a fun day for you and your dh. I only made my cards for mother's day on NSD...so I wouldn't say it was a big sb day either!
On National Scrapbook Day this year, my DH wanted to spend the day at the Steam Engine Show in Pawnee. I believe that as important as it is to archive your memories, it's more important to CREATE memories worthy of archiving. So I may be the only scrap booker I know who did not actually SCRAP on NSB, but I had a great day just the same. We had a lovely time together - just the two of us and Cowboy, who never stays home when he can GO.
This is one of the last photographs I took that day. I thought it was neat that this was an an old Arny ambulance, since our daughter is a member of the US Army and currently stationed in Iraq. So of course, I had to get a photograph, not just to remember the day, but to remember the "time." The Uncle Sam "I Want YOU..." is so true. The US Army didn't just take our daughter. When she enlisted, we joined up too. We pray daily for her safety, as well as the safety of each and every one of our service members both overseas and at home. We are so proud to be the parents of a United States soldier.
This layout is inspired by the June Swirlydoos Sketch, and I love how pretty it turned out - in spite of the all boy theme!
This is the second page from my June Swirlydoos kit. Quite a color contrast from the deep blues of my first one, but this kit is just SO versatile and full of the most masculine products. I used my Sizzix die-cut to create the flourish out of the glassine paper (incredible texture!). I fussy cut the clocks, applied crackle accents to the faces so they'd look old and cracked, and I used MoonShadow mist on the Dusty Attic skeletal clock. Then I threaded the chain and finished with those antique looking flowers from a previous kit (wish I could find some MORE of these!)
I love my Zutter Distress tool. It makes distressing papers a snap!
Thanks for stopping by and looking at my work. I treasure your comments! Every single one is important to me, and I value your opinions!
