My Hero, My Dad

This week at BBTB2, we honor President's Day with a "Patriotic" theme.   I couldn't pass up the opportunity to scrap a picture of my son-in-law when he was a Marine and a recent picture of my granddaughter waving a flag.  The two pictures just seemed to go together in my mind.  I was searching for some dark green paper and ran across this U.S. Marines paper that I got at Scrapbook Expo a few years ago.   I had already wanted to put My Hero as the title, and found it as a Phrase on the Artbooking cartridge, and then added lettering of "My Dad" and the two frames from the same cart.   USA and the stripe with stars was also from Artbooking. I find this is one of my most used cartridges since I got it a few months back.   It has a little bit of everything on it. I used the Base Camp cartridge to cut out the Wallace as dog tags.   I used my new Brother label maker to add the black writing.   Take a look at the other posts this week at BBTB2.
