Here is the complete line-up of the hop






I want to thank everyone for all the wonderful comments and feedback I have received so far...it was very uplifting and gave me huge smiles! I also was very touched to hear about many stories of your loved ones whom have also passed on and I am just so glad that I could give you a little inspiration in helping you with your wonderful tribute for them. Today I have another tribute....to give honor to those who serve and put their lives on the line for our freedom and Country. I wanted to honor a close friend that I have known since Junior High School that is serving our Country right now in the Military Branch of the Army. He has been deployed three times in front-line Infantry and is home safely...thank the LORD! I haven't had the chance to do any military layouts before so this was a treat and such an honor to create =D

Paper Piecings: Little Scraps of Heaven "The Lord's Army"
take a look HERE
Papers: The two background papers I used are from DCWV "The Old World stack" and the papers used for the matting behind the pictures,clothes on the soldiers and the word "Hero" on the dogtag is from a Digital kit you can find at Visual Designs by Chris HERE
The Army truck and Solder's Creed are images I found on Google =D
Ribbons: I saved ribbon from a gift that I received from William Sonoma and it went perfect for this layout =D I am always going around collecting ribbons at our parties and holidays for scrapbooking lol!
The Dogtags I actually created the cutting file on Sure Cuts A Lot that you can cut out on your Cricut. I wanted to share this file with as a free gift today so here it is:

  5. You did a fantastic job with this layout!! I have been struggling with making an album for my brother and sister in law who both were over in Iraq a few years ago. Once you do so many military pages... it gets tough... at least it is for me. I'm so used to making cutesy/pretty layouts... not manly ones. I love how yours turned out!! I might have to steal your idea for a lo in my brothers album! Thanks for sharing your layouts with us!
