Sadly and suddenly about 7 years ago I lost my Dad due to a stroke and then followed by an aneurism. I have scrapped only 3 layouts of my Dad and I struggle each and every time to do one. I have got 2 put a slide I have tried to scrap but I get so stressed trying to put them together that I end up putting them away for another day. My friend Tarrah put me to the challenge of giving this challenge a go along at Handmade by Suzannne. Go and give it a go..... here is the link. Below is the gorgeous sketch that was our inspiration designed by Nadia Cannizzo.
I fell in love with the sketch and this is my take on it.
I must say I nearly gave up on putting it together as once again I was stressing something shocking as it was a layout of my Dad, but after putting it aside for about 30 minutes this time and not months on end I completed it and I am pretty stocked that I finished it. Now I can sit proud and look at it. My Dad here was a young and very good looking 23 years old.
