I love that quote and it's perfect for this wonderful layout. Great journaling! I love your clusters, too.

Great manly page and the quote is perfect. The colors are great too.

I love the journaling. What a hard life they must all have led - your great grandfather down the mines and his wife left to bring up children alone after his death. Love the masculine cluster youve created behind the journaling - especially the playing cards!

Wonderful photo and fantastic journaling. I love the embellishments and great colors you chose!

Now, that is an interesting thought. How tragic that Eldon was killed in the coal mine. My husband's gr-grandfather was a German immigrant who was also killed in a coal mine in the 1920s. Terribly dangerous job, especially back then. Your journaling is wonderful, and so is that vintage man on the left. Wonderful heritage page!

Oh what an interesting page, Karen! Your journaling is awesome and your photo is wonderful to have. I really like your quote and all the embellishments you used. Super work!

Great story and fab photo. I love your embellishments peeking out from behind your journaling. Very apt for a man who had to be reminded when to leave the saloon!

Lovely quote and journaling. I love the quote and the embellishments.
