The first is a birthday card for David - he was 21 and a bit (quite a big bit!) yesterday:
The next is for a challenge on WeScrap. We had to use only black and white for the background.
Photo is of him in his 40's and the journalling will be attached to the back in the form of a letter to him, bringing him up to date and telling him how much and why I miss him.
Papers and rub-ons by Daisy Bucket "Little Black Dress", flowers by Making Memories "Sweets", heart button from stash.
I'm listening to music on my laptop at the moment - have discovered the shuffle button so it's a weird and wonderful selection. So far we've had JLo, Snoop Dogg, Russell Watson, Chicago,Foreigner,Elgar,Rumer,Take That , Satie and currently Carl Orff, "O Fortuna".
A slightly more "highbrow" selection than MTV. :0)

Very nice birthday card Susie and what a nice tribute to your dad on Father's Day. It's hard to scrap those pages, but it's so healthy to grieve. I lost my young brother when he was 38 and found it really helped me too.
I love your sense of humor and your choice of music.
Have a great day and a big hug from me to you.
That's a lovely LO for your Dad on Fathers Day - and a sweet idea to update him on your life since you lost him last year. I like that he is in colour while the rest is in b and w. I found it really hard on Sunday too :o(
Great birthday card, super colours (I like the TH embossing).

Oooh Sue, such lovely crafting (and doesn't it feel good?!) OH's birthday card is fab, and we all know how hard male cards are, and your layout is lovely - very brave of you to stick to just black and white for your background. I'm sure your Dad would have loved it.
Hugs, Carole xxx

Your layout for your Dad is simply beautiful and Ilove the idea of the letter bringing him up to date with things.
I also love your 'shuffle' story!
