HOW do I love thee?

Our d/gkids in Oklahoma are a really close knit group, and so are their kids. Here d/ggd Abbigail is having fun with Auntie Betty Jean. Nobody told me what the joke was, but Abby apparently thought it was hilarious.

I created this with papers I received from my pal for the Ugly Paper challenge. The pink paisley is one paper, and the other was a Halloween paper with pumpkins, squirrels and sayings all over it that's still peeking through. I whitewashed and sanded it so I could use it here for the center border, and mats for the photo and pennants. The "ugly" embellies are the cute and funky numbers. The flower, ribbon, fiber and stickpin are from a RAK I received from Delaina Burns. Thanks Delaina, they worked perfectly here.

The title and journaling are a quote from Elizabeth Barrett Browning, "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways." Each pennant lists something Betty loves about Abby: her sunny smile, her gentle soul, her sticky kisses, her happy laugh, her patient grace and her generous spirit.

This will also go in the Cricut, AGC, VLB challenges, and the Goal Getters Group.
