Daddy's Girl

I admit it. I'm a Daddy's Girl. Fortunately I've never had any completion being the only daughter.

 

This page is very special to me. It was 1996 and you might say I had a midlife crisis. I decided that I wanted to go to college and 'get the piece of paper' that showed I could do the job I'd successfully been doing for 20 years. Like I said it was a midlife crisis so, yes, I know it didn't make sense.

 

But I did it. I'd decided on Conestoga College in Kitchener. I'd never been to Kitchener and was a little nervous of finding the college. Dad said he'd take me to my first day of school, which by the way was a 3 1/2 hour drive. It was a great trip together.

 

Some two years later, as the family was getting ready to travel to my graduation ceremony, my Dad took my keys from me and said; "I was proud to drive you to your first day of school and I'm proud to drive you to your last."

 

The moment is one I'll never forget. It is so very special to me.

The sketch for this layout is the Sketch~N~Scrap #65 from September 15th, 2014.

I loved the suggestion of using so many different patterned papers.

 

I combined the sketch with the Colour Challenge from Scrapmuch?

I loved the tones of this colour board. It reminded me of summer skies and Muskoka lakes. The red made the blue tones 'pop'.

 

 

Some great handmade butterflies I'd gotten in a small shop somewhere, a bit of twine and a chalkboard style tag that let me journal the event and year, and I was done and thrilled with my layout.
