I'm still in the midst of my busy week enjoying Little Honey's Birthday Week.
I love this layout because it is of my dad. Dad was stationed in Okinawa at the time. It was there he met a man that became his best friend and eventually my uncle.
The 5 x7 photo is dad just goofing around. You can see a very young Chuck in the lower photo. All the old photos of dad just bring him back to me and how he was when I was little. Dad was very sick towards the end of his life. I will always believe that my dad was the best father in all the world. I tell my grandchildren about him so they will have my memories of Dad.
I had fun using all the browns then splashing in some blue. It gave it an abstract feeling. Simple, but I still get the feeling of a touch of art and a lot of Dad.
Predominate pattern paper is from KaiserCraft. The paper with the ruler and numbers is from My Mind's Eye newest release. To get my circle I used my Fiskars Circle Cutter...don't leave home without it! I made my "ticket" look with Fiskars Ticket It squeeze punch. The blue chipboard pieces are from Technique Tuesday. I just added Broken China Distress Stain and a stamp. The little faux stitching is from a much older collection by Cloud9.
Thanks for letting me share my Pop with you.
Birthday Week
Monday and Tuesday were the first two days of Little Honey's birthday week. Monday I gave her a princess birthday hat and wand for the week. The wand is from Making Memories line Bravissimo. I collect hats and other pieces of "dress up" items so that LH and I can play dress up. There are photos of LH while we were playing dress up.

Tuesday I gave LH her own gardening set and a starter kit to grow sunflower seeds. We will be working on that one today.
