This week, we continue my visit to Fredericksburg Battlefield. My last stop in town was the National Cemetery (just beyond the wall where the reenactors were). There are a few monuments here to generals and other commanding officers, but of course, there are many graves of the soldiers killed here. Although not as grand as Arlington, it is still a worthwhile stop on the tour.
This layout was loosely based on a pin I saved. I decided to use wallpaper instead of cutting up strips of various papers, as I had already pulled the Civil War page from my stash. The cannon page on the right wasn't sold as a companion page, but it worked out nicely. The silhouette of the cannoneer isn't on the paper; it's a die cut I bought for my Civil War pages. I found one good sticker that fit the page in a CM military pack, but I don't have a lot of good embellishments. If you have ideas about what would work, please drop them in the comments.
I like the layout as it is. It's solemn. With the subject, it is perfect:)
