MY FATHER MY HERO ~ SEPT CHALLENGE AT SCRAPBOOKIT

Good evening here in Australia. I am like that duck paddling, paddling ! having to work really eats into my scrapbooking time, but trying to keep up and unfortunately will not have to time to do all the challenges I would like. But.... I have created a layout for the challenge at Scrapbookit. The challenge is to celebrate a hero, use 4 different Pattern papers, washi tape, twine/string and a handmade embellishment. OK I think I have it covered :)

This is my layout 

My Father ~ My Hero

I have used the four different PP's and used the filmstrip washi tape as my border, along with a ruler washi tape under my photo. My handmade embellishment is the bottle top. I have added tiny twine and vintage thread behind my bottle top, and tiny twine in my tag. The white foam pieces are the negatives from my foam dots ( waste not )

The gorgeous flair is from StudioFourteen40 "always" range. The words say "I look to the Stars", such a beautiful range. 

This is my Dad and my Grandson. Dad was not only a Hero to me , but I am sure to all those that knew him. He cherished his Grandchildren and Great Granchildren and they looked up to him. Dad was a quiet man, but when he talked people listened, I miss my Dad. 
When my Grandson's mother's Grandmother died , Jedd was saying his prayers and said "When you get to Heaven just look for Deckie (that is what all the grandchildren/ Great Grandchildren called my Dad) He will help you, You will know when you see him , because he has a big smile .  How adorable is that ? 

Thank you for calling by and hope you find some time to document your Hero and join in over at Scrapbookit

Love and Peace
