Description
For the Hear My Voice challenge #8 Building, I created this layout about the building of the house/home of my childhood. My parents lived there for 57 years. The second page is underway.

I used:
template 2 from Hear My Voice #3
Hear My Voice #21 Building
Score that you had photos to document this MAJOR building project. Love how your framing mimics the tiny border.
 
great photos and lovely paper choices. This is reminding me of my days as a site engineer overseeing the concrete pour. I'm looking forward to seeing page 2.
 
@mcurtt, thank you. As I've been thinking about this time, I'm remembering a few other stories and will be looking for supporting photos.
 
@Angela Toucan, thanks. I'm glad to trigger memories for you. In his last 6 years or so when construction was booming near me, I took photos to explain what I learned about concrete pours in a half-block-sized high rise as I looked down on one a few blocks away. We both found the construction of the foundation interesting as well as the pouring of the slab floors. He never did any work on highrises so I took photos and we'd talk about it. I'd leave the photos with him so he could show them to his friends. That was a nice time...
 
Wow! That looks like a lot of hard work. I really dig the papers you used to frame a lot of those images.
 
Your layout beautifully captures the dedication and hard work that went into building a home filled with decades of memories. The vintage tones and journaling add a nostalgic touch, making it a great tribute to your family's history. Thank you so much for playing along in Rachel and Lynn's mixed media challenge.
