This week we were to scraplift a page or element and create an essay on what made that scraplift desirable to us. This photo was taken one month after my mother-in-law passed away. There was never a man as devoted to a woman as my husbands step-father was. He was there for her every step of the way even through her last days of suffering with cancer. And, I dont think he realizes how much everyone appreciated the love he gave to her.

For the layout I used Bazzill cardstock for the background, mats, library pocket, tag, and accent blocks. On the blue I dry-brushed some white paint to the edges in a criss-cross fashion and then inked the edges on all. I had enlarged my photo to a 6x8. I added a quote to a transparentcy and attached it with brads in the upper right corner of the phoro. I carried these brads to the lower left to draw the eye down to the title. I used MM rub on letters to create the title. I also added many accents of ribbon around the layout attaching the folded pieces with staples.

the quote reads : The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother - Theodore Hesburch

the journalling reads: I don't know if you've ever realized how much the love you gave Patty meant to the rest of us. We knew the joy we saw in her was a direct effect on the way you treated her. And, know how much your love comforted her when she needed it the most. I am glad to have you as my father-in-law and am glad that Gary looks to you as a role model - May, 2003
