You should be coming to my blog from Ginny's Blog. (For the complete blog list, scroll to the bottom of the post.)
I created a page layout this time. I decided last year, that if Bonnie was going to do a red, white, and blue collection each year, then I'd do a page layouts of my dad and brothers, who all served in the military. Last year I did a page of my surviving brothers with my husband and oldest son (see that HERE). This year, I decided to do a layout of my second oldest brother, Larry. (His birthday was yesterday, that is why he got a page layout this time!)
Larry served in the US Navy from 1969-1973 and is a Vietnam Veteran. I am proud of my dad and brothers for serving our country. My dad and younger brother served in the US Army, but my three older brothers served in the US Navy.
I used some ribbon to make "flags" on my page.
I stapled the ribbon flags onto the layout, to keep with that grunge look. But also, I know that a US military file is filled with papers all stapled and in triplicate. {grin}
I used more ribbon to make a ribbon "tail" for the US Navy medallion.
As we get close to Memorial Day, I hope you take time to thank the veterans in your life!
