Totally gorgeous page with so many beautiful things to look at. I really love that you inclued your own bird photos and the horsehair. Elegant fuzzy cutting and layering.
Lots of interest on this LO. I like all the bits of fancy metal on this. The use of some of it to cap off the definitions is quite neat. Neat too that you included a piece of fabric from clothing he'd worn. Like too how you layered the floral cluster above the photo. Birds keep trying to build a nest in the electric wires connecting my house this summer (and previous summers too) and I've had to take the nests down several times unfortunately. But it never occurred to me to scrap any of the unusual findings in their nest materials. As far as I know, there has been no horse hair though....
BEAUTIFULLY done - so creative and lovely. I love the rich colors, the birds, the butterflies, the punchwork, the inking and layering - all so wonderful. (loved that you used a piece of his jacket).
I absolutely love the beautiful and creative layout you made. And it is so filled with love. The words that describe Sam are such a perfect touch here!
OK...you got me with the horse hair!!! LOL You are always so clever and innovative with your los. I always love your choices of embellies. Great photo and a wonderfully, detailed page! :o)
Elizabeth I honestly don't know if there is anyone more creative than you! ALL of your elements have come together so beautifully, so creatively~ Well done friend! Elegant and vibrant post~
This is another one that brings back memories. I played bari in the marching band and the jazz band! :) Love the fabric mats ~ they're perfect ~ and the fact that you included the horse hair.
I think this is a B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L Page & design. You certainly did your homework on this!!!!!! Sam is a good-looker. Only if I was a little younger........ LOL. I love the WHOLE description & the info on all the things you used!!!!!!!!!!!! I could go on & on & on about this LO!!!!!!!!!!! Hugs<<
Oh wow where do Istart, this is a wonderful ,inspirational page of heartfelt inspiration. Love the story of Sam and his amazing talent. The birds butterflies and all the little recycled pieces add so much love . But poor birds.lol.
Who would have thought of stealing horse hair from a bird to use on a scrapbook page. You are amazing. I love this. I love all the little touches from his uniform and using the photos of birds from your neighborhood. Beautiful work.
Hi everyone! It was so good to have a little time to create another layout. I took this picture of my firstborn, Sam, when he was a senior in high school. He played his bari-sax with a little group of band members for Memorial Day at our local cemetery. I love this picture of him and really miss hearing him play the sax. He played tenor, alto and bari sax during high school.
I have to admit that on this project I only used two recycled items! The fabric under the three tag-like things is actually from Sam's old dress jacket that I bought for him in middle school from Goodwill. He grew into it AND wore it out! I got him a new one for his birthday last year and cut out some of the fabric from the old jacket for craft projects! Now, here's the other thing that you will get a kick out of....that threadlike stuff in the cluster is actually from a horse's tail!! I found a good clump of it in one of our apple trees that a bird was going to use for nesting material!! Hahaha. I thought it was pretty cool, and didn't know what it was at first until my husband told me! We do have a neighbor with a horse and a mule, so I think little birdie must've stole it from their pen!
I did a little embossing on this layout (top border, "inspiration" (a Gabrielle Pollacco clear stamp from The Scrapbook Diaries) and the little border underneath it.
I also used photographs I had taken of birds on our property at various times...the mountain chickadee, western tanager and cedar waxwing! I pictured birds singing along with the music. The three butterflies that I fussy cut are along pictures of the real thing that I printed off my Print Shop program. The little journaling tags (not quite sure what you call them) give words with definitions, that I felt described Sam. He was an inspiration to a lot of kids in band. He frequently made repairs to instruments and even built a set of quad drums out of pvc and various scraps for marching band.
Thank you so much for stopping by! I appreciate your feedback! :-)
