In this 10-year-old photo, Daddy and I are saying our goodbyes before heading to the Austin airport for him to return home. We had a wonderful time when he came to visit that spring.
The 12th sketch challenge has been posted at the SCRAP & MUSIC challenge blog! Head over to the site to grab the sketch and play along. This 12th sketch came with the song “Stop!” by Erasure.
My layout
Today would have been my father’s 80th birthday, so I decided to celebrate with a page about us. The photo on my layout is of Daddy and me in 2003, when he came to Austin from NC to stay for the week. He and Matt and I had such a great visit. We took this pic together in the back yard right before heading to the airport for Dad to return home. I used the challenge song’s first line, “We’ll be together again,” as my title because I look so forward to being reunited with my dear dad when I eventually make my way to Heaven. Happy birthday, Pops! I love you and miss you always.
Product/technique notes
I had a great time combining papers from Authentique, Crate Paper, Fancy Pants and My Mind’s Eye on this page.
The challenge
The challenges on this blog involve following the sketch and using a title on your layout with a line from the provided music. Below I’ve included the video as well as the lyrics for this song:
“Stop!” by Erasure
We’ll be together again
I’ve been waiting for a long time
We’re gonna be, we’re gonna be together again
I’ll be connected to the right line
We’ll be together
And nobody ain’t never gonna
Disconnect us
Or ever separate us
Or say to us you’ve got to
Stop!
Stand there where you are
Before you go too far
Before you make a fool out of love
Stop!
Don’t jump before you look
Get hung up on a hook
Before you make a fool out of love
We’ll be together again
I’ve been waiting for a long time
We’re gonna be, we’re gonna be together again
I’ll be connected to the right line
We’ll be together
And nobody ain’t never gonna
Disconnect us
Or ever separate us
Or say to us you’ve got to
Stop!
Stand there where you are
Before you go too far
Before you make a fool out of love
Stop!
Don’t jump before you look
Get hung up on a hook
Before you make a fool out of love
We’ll be together
And nobody ain’t never gonna
Disconnect us
Or ever separate us
Or say to us you’ve got to
Stop!
Stand there where you are
Before you go too far
Before you make a fool out of love
Stop!
Don’t jump before you look
Get hung up on a hook
Before you make a fool out of love
Stop!
