Sue's sketch - Sandra`

Sandra said ...

"The men in the layout are Garry's Grandfather Tom, his Uncle Eddie and Garry himself.

Uncle Eddie passed away a couple of weeks ago, and he has been on my mind I suppose, and today being Remembrance Day this photo came to mind and I had the urge to scrap it.





I just love the proud look in Grandfather Tom's eyes as he poses with his son.

I used Sue's Sketch Challenge as a guide and it came together pretty quickly.
Love the red lettering in the title and the journaling with the little alphas. All the embellishments are perfect. And the crumpled effect to the paper suits the layout very well.

You really do the vintage layouts so well ... actually you do all aspects so damn well!!

Thanks Meredith.
Journalling is a bit small isn't it, sorry,
It reads:
Every Anzac Day and Remembrance Day please Remember what these men were willing to sacrifice for you.

So good to be scrapping again...

Ps... Amanda I think there is something wrong with the ticker widget thingy in the corner counting down the days, hours, minutes, seconds.
It's Ticking over WAY TOO SLOWLY for my liking!!

I was lucky enough to see this LO today. the more you look the more you see. lots of little details but so not overwhelming. and the ANZAC badge adds that something special to it overall. Esp the way Sandra 'aged and distressed' it. It was very shiny once, much better now. I really hope Sandra you sub this one!

Fabulous Sandra the stamps and badge really add to the theme. Great old photos and something to treasure. Top job.
