Dawn Mercedes Remembers ♥

 

It's time again to remember those brave soldiers...

Men and women who gave their all to their country.

Rows of large pearl bling are a nice backdrop for the Simply Red and Ocean View Rumple Ribbon

from Lovebug Creations.

I hope you take time from picnics, bbqs, and working around the yard

to give thought and thanks to those who helped to make it all possible!

Paper Hoarders DT Offering - Memorial Day Projects

Good Friday to All Crafties!  Today as a Paper Hoarder DT project we were asked to make something appropriate for Memorial Day.

Tanya, our PH guru, has a listing on her blog of all the projects; this can be found at http://scrappinkymomma.blogspot.com/ so please check them out and drop a love note for each designer!


Mama LoveBug is up first.  I love those La-La Land stamps so I knew my project had to include one - a saluting girl with colored pencils and gel pen accents plus Pink By Design sentiments w/gold embossing and some lovely patriotic paper from DCWV,  This is a Memorial Day pocket card and like the sentiments say - Home of the Free because of the Brave ....Whenever I see the flag I think of YOU........my dad, Staff Sgt. William G Pattison, US Army Air Corps, WWII Veteran.

Hello Everyone!! For my project I made a layout of my Grandpa- Staff Sgt. William G Pattison, US Army Air Corps, WWII Veteran! I had a hard time with this one as in just a few weeks it will be 5 years since we had to say good-bye to him. He was one of the best men I have ever met....Honest, Brave, Hard-working, Loving...just one heck of a guy. I love my grandpa and I miss him so much. So to honor him I made this layout...

Full View...Isn't he handsome in his uniform???

Close up of the smaller pics. 1st on is a ship that my husband bought for my grandpa when he was in the hospital shortly before he passed away. The 2nd is the flag and American Eagle that were on the corner of his casket and the 3rd is of the bullet from the gun salute at his funeral.

Close up of the name/date banners and the quilt effect "My Hero"

Close up of the flowers...I put the pearls in the centers to add a bit of my grandma to it...She loves pearls! :)

Thank you Tanya for making this our project for this week! I had a great time making this and remembering my Grandpa (My Hero) and what a wonderful man he was!
