Love this challenge and there are so many gorgeous layouts in the gallery.

This layout includes three pieces of my past (or should I say, my father's past). The background is a blending of two photos - one of parachutes taken in the parachute loft and the other a scan of the certificate
my father received in 1943 when graduating from Parachute Material and Rigging School. The photo is of my father in late 1942.
