In honor of Memorial Day this past Monday, I pulled out some photos from a war movie we saw when we were in London. It's called "Their Finest" and it tells the story of a group of film-makers creating a morale-raising documentary about the evacuation of Dunkirk during WWII. They suddenly run into a snag when one of their writers discovers the two young ladies whose story they are following did not actually make it to Dunkirk because their boat had engine trouble. My hubby thought the film was okay, but I loved the mix of drama, comedy, and romance! I don't have very many military themed scrapbooking supplies, so I used my Cricut to cut out stars and a medal, while the boat and the torn paper at the bottom represent the beach at Dunkirk and the "little ships" that came to the rescue of the allied troops stranded in France as the Nazis advanced.
I included two hidden items on this layout: the journaling is in the envelope that says "The Details" on it, and I used 3-D foam tape to pop up the movie marquee photo so I could slip the tickets from the theater behind it.
