I went to Joanne's yesterday and got the Americana paper collection from K & Company. It spurred me to want to work on a page with something that has happened in Iraq. This week's Sketchy Thursdays sketch just really pushed me over the edge.
Here is what I came up with....
The story of Rufus ultimately did not turn out to be a good one. But he brought a lot of happiness to the guys for the time he was there.
I also matched a challenge at Scrappin-n-Chattin that is called Leprechaun's Gold. You had to include glitter, oval, leave and doodle on the layout. I used the oval in place of the brackets on the center photo. The red in the flower embellishments in the upper left and lower right of the page are glittery and I added Stickles to the title. I added leaves to the flowers in the upper right of the page. And I doodled around the oval and added a little smiley face on the journaling tag. This was a pretty tough challenge, but so fun to try to make it work.
I am also going to use this layout as my 3rd entry into this week's Sketches in Thyme Open Challenge.

What a beautiful remembrance for David of Rufus. A heartfelt and emotional page....this is the reason we scrap. I hope that by doing it you feel better now. I know this is a hard tome for you....{{hugs}}, my friend.
What a great tribute page for Rufus (and David). What a wonderful album you will have. So neat that Facebook provides that connection through photos/stories.
Great layout and tribute. I am really proud of what David and all the other soldiers are doing! Thanks for playing along with Sketchy Thursdays!! xoxo

That's a sweet page. I like how you replaced the bracket for the oval on your page. Thanks for joining us at Sketchy Thursdays xx
Sue, the sketch came out great anyway regardless of the outcome
The LO came out great! We adopted a soldier and I think I will make some cards with that paper...now I just have to see if I can find it at my Joanns!
Thanks for the inspiration!
