Happy Friday to you! For my fellow Canadians, I hope you take a few minutes today and thank a Veteran, take a moment of silence or just give it a thought about how lucky we are to live where we do! It was my week to pick a theme for the blog hop so I decided to go on the theme of Rememberance. It didn't have to be a page on a Veteran (although, originally that was what I was going to do), but it could be one on a loved one or really anything!
So, I decided to do an MDS page on my dad. Well, this truly wasn't an easy task. Part of the reason it was so difficult is just the fact that I don't have easy access to photos...digital was just coming around in my life before my dad passed away. At some point I will start scanning my photos into my computer but for now, I work with what I've got:)
The other reason this was difficult for me, was simply the topic. I wasn't overly inspired to create but Stampin' Up! came to the rescue! I used their template from the smitten alphabet download. It is an 8x8 layout (but of course I can save this as a jpeg and import it into any size square page I like!) It was a pink and really "pretty" page but with a few clicks of the buttons I could "man it up" without any troubles! Gotta love MDS!!!! Thank you SU!
Well, hate to keep it short, but a busy day ahead! Have a great day and I'll be back tomorrow with another card an video. In the meantime, check out the other blogs on the blog hope!
Take care,
Heather
Love this page Heather... I know what you mean by finding pictures is hard... 10 years for me since my mom said goodbye :-)

Beautiful page Heather! Made me tear up a bit just thinking about my dad. Maybe have to do a page but he was like me - always behind the camera, hated being in the picture :) The tears on your keyboard as you created were worth it! <3
