Freedom is not Free

I used the same idea of Freedom isn't Free for a page of mine. You did a wonderful job of blending the picture into the background.

Great layout and wonderful photos! Love the elements you used on your page. I like how you blended the photo into the background and angled the other over the frame. Well done!

Wow- thank you. I am a verteran and this page literally brought tears to my eyes. The vintage blended photo with the troops in ponchos gives such a clear statement of the discomfort faced by soldiers just managing their uniform and gear -let alone battle encounters. And the other vintage looking photo is a reminder of how many years and lives ahve been given to maintain our freedom. I really like the repeated use of the tattered paper to create the background.

I am nominating this page for Baker's Best this week.

I second everything Rochelle said ! While not a veteran myself, I come from a family filled with veterans and I grew up with a strong sense of pride in country and those who served and continue to serve it . This literally gave me goosebumps!

Congratulations! Your layout has been nominated for Layout of the Week for the week ending 7/7! You can vote in the poll HERE. Good luck this week!
