Heros in All Shapes & Sizes
Happy 4th of July!!
Who says that the Hero Simple Set has to be used just for our deserving military or 4th of July? My husband is a retired Marine, I have ample photos that this collection could be used for. However, I decided to document my son's accomplishments instead. Just recently he bridged from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts. The colors of the uniform and ceremony itself worked perfectly with this collection. I picked the sentiments that worked and focused on the blues, reds and grays!
I wanted a larger badge to use on the layout so instead of using the smaller sticker in the collection, I fussy cut the badge from a 4x6 block, backed it with foam and layered the honor sticker over the top.

For my second layout, I documented my son again. When he was younger, he dressed up in something every single day. It could be a superhero costume or a mini version of his dads USMC uniform. Regardless, he had tons of fun. We were grateful for his dedication to protect our home and our pets. Let's take a look at how the Hero collection works for this layout.
Was there any other choice than the camouflage paper? NO!!! The problem was, I loved the back too. I folded over the corner to see the stripes and decided to use the empty space for my title! (see below)
The addition of stars was natural because the collection had stars. I almost went with hearts but I decided to keep the layout 'tough!' I didn't want anyone mad at me:o)
Again, I chose the perfect sentiment to go along with the theme of my layout. There are so many different directions this collection can go.
Thanks for joining us this week as we celebrated all thing patriotic!
