Challenges at Digi Scraps Drive-In

The first was 'Alphabet Soup' - you had to scrap a layout with the letter 'O'. It took me a few days to figure out what I could scrap about, then it hit me yesterday. My brother died of bone cancer 6 weeks ago and his motto was 'ONE LIFE. LIVE IT'....so that was my 'O' sorted:
