Last Christmas, when I was just getting started in scrapping, my Dad was sitting and watching me put together a paper bag album, he was shaking his head, laughing, and saying " I just don't get it" ......this from a man who collects stamps and could spend hours examining and sorting them!!! LOL.
Anyway, I decided I had to put together something something special just for him. I asked Mom to locate the envelope he kept with his father's photo and ID tags from WWII. I managed to put together, and frame, the following layout for him:
Well he like it very much, and actually asked me I I could take it apart to add in Grampy's medals, that he had hidden away somewhere else. I finally got around to finishing it up last night, and below is the end result.I had to attach it to cardboard, as those metals are just too heavy for cardstock. He will now build a shadow box for it. The envelope in the pocket is from an actual letter Grampy sent while he was overseas the post mark and stamp are in perfect condition, oh yeah...Dad also collects postmarks????
I hope everyone had a great weekend, we had lots of fun! We did get our new computer, but haven't got it on the internet yet, or any of our files transferred. I can't wait though! I had to log into blogger 5 times just to get this posted! Ughhhhhhhhh!
Have a great day all! TFL
