Dear To Me

I am so glad it is almost Thursday, the weekend is heading our way. It will be a busy weekend, but the main thing is that I won't have to get up at 5:00 AM.

This weeks challenge from Pat was to make a layout about someone very dear to you. I have many many people dear to me, but this time I chose to make a page about my dad that died in Oct. of 99. I chose a picture of him when he was in the Navy during WWII. He was around 20 years old. He served on the Fighting Lady, the USS Yorktown. After Daddy got out of the Navy he met my Mom then married in 1946. Daddy was a painter all his life, so I chose to use paint chips to place the picture on. The paper is Blue Awning by K&CO. I added a journal tag, with a button, that I thought looked like came off a military uniform. I used dental floss that I colored with a marker to thread through the button and cascade down the tag. For finishing up I added several rhinestones around on the page. Thanks for letting me share this memory of a very dear person to me... My Daddy...My Hero.
