Give a Cheer
Well, I finally got around to making a layout. My first and only one for the month of March! I know, I'm sorta behind! :-) This is the first layout I've made featuring my two sons in over a year.
I took these pictures of my boys at the Autumn Leaf Parade in Leavenworth, 2009. Sam was a senior and Dan a freshman at the time. I miss those days. I was a very active volunteer band mom. I assigned band uniforms, tuxes and dresses as well as altering as needed and hemming and frequently chaperoned at parades and contests. One thing I should mention about that picture in the center, there were a couple of kids on either side of them and Sam started playing a song that is mostly a sax solo and just has the word "Tequila" here and there. The other kids joined in and they were laughing because they really weren't supposed to play it because of that word, and when it came to the spot they'd all yell "Tequila"! Still cracks me up just thinking about it! This was all while they were waiting for the parade to start.
The tweed cloth under the pictures and die cut is from Sam's old dress jacket that he wore out. I cut part of it up to use for crafting.
The die cut is from the Ornamental Iron II I cut out on my Cricut. I used Tim Holtz distress embossing ink on it, then sprinkled on black embossing powder and set it with my heat tool. The buttons on the left are pretty old, from my Mom's button tin so they are pretty special to me.
The diamond stencil is from Unique Laser Designs that I got when I was a Guest Designer.
The Marching Band sticker was red metallic and I wanted it to match their uniform colors better so I used some metallic gold dabber on it and when it dried I rubbed TH Dried Marigold distress ink pad over it.
Thank you so much for stopping by my gallery!
Thanks for spreading positivity!
