Waiting For..... David

Earlier this week I had the time to create a couple of pages.  The pages really are a double page layout.  I recently ordered several new Echo Park collections.  It had been while since I got any new EP paper.  I got the 4th of July collection pack.  I knew I would use these papers to create layouts of my son David.

David has been back from Iraq for a year now.  Even though he marched in the Memorial Day Parade in our town almost every since he was little, this was the first year he marched as a veteran.  He participated in the ceremony at the park as well.  Willie, Tessa and I went to watch the parade.  I took some photos of the dogs waiting and waiting for the parade to start and photos of everything that was in the parade.

The first page is one of the dogs with several of the photos I took of them.  I used a sketch from Boys Rule, from May 25th.  I LOVE Boys Rule sketches and really enjoy using them.  I'm late blogging about this and missed the deadline for entering, but I wanted to post it any way.

I had to rotate the position of the photos on the page, but I like the way it turned out.

For the 2nd page, I used a photo of David I took as he was passing by us in the parade.  I used this month's sketch at Artful Delight.  I think it was perfect for this page....

Of course David was the youngest member of the VFW in the parade.  As a matter of fact, he's the youngest member of the VFW by far in the town.

Here are both pages together.

Thanks for looking.  I have to blog about a few more pages that I created.  Hopefully I will be able to get the posts created this weekend.
