oh this is just wonderful and sooooo beautiful.....congratulations and what a great idea to have this be representative of paper for your first anniversary!!!
Aww, this is so creative! I would have never thought to use this as my paper gift for our first year of marriage (of course I wasing scrapbooking back then.....haha......I know hard to believe!!!). I love the black and white. It's sooooo romantic, and your journlaing is really touching. Perfection!!!
Absolutely AMAZING!! Love the way you did the photos. The brushes are beautiful and the journaling is awesome. Great job!!! Hope you had a fantastic anniversary!
wow, oh wow leiks.. he is going to be SO happy with this.. your journaling is beautiful, just like the pics and your brushes. You are SO talented.. love the faded pics and the journaling over that.. wow.. well can't say wow enough here! into my favs!
this is gorgeous!!!! and goodness... for some reason, i feel such relief knowing that someone else out there did things a little backwards. ha!! i love how you told this story and added picutres to show the time frame. LOVE the columned journaling here and how it goes right over the pictures. (also... go 'head, girl with your mid-drift top on!!! glad i'm not the only one who did *those* too! lol!!!)
Girl... I am IN LOVE with all of your brushes! They are so awesome, as is this gift. What a super clever way to incorporate the paper into the anniversary. TERRIFIC! :)
What an amazing story! It's so nice to get a glimpse into someone's life and realize we're all making it through in our own way and it's all ok! Love it!!
Ok i have resisted commenting on the baby thing but now it's there so yay for you guys!!! I love having my kids far apart so much easier (IMO) love the layout and the old picture is so cute.. I tried to do a perfect column of journaling like this but couldn'e get past breaking up the words.. yours looks so good i am going to try again! that flourish is gorgeous!!! he is going to LOVE it!! all around perfect page
*sigh* the pictures are of awful quality, so bear with me. That picture dates back to 1997 (the one where my dh is wearing a hat). I had such a DIFFICULT time scrapping these! Bad pictures are really hard to scrap! Anyway, our wedding anniversary is tomorrow (the 24th) so this will be one of my dh's gifts. I think the first year is paper. This qualifies as paper, right? The journaling is kind of long and rambling...not really cohesive -LOL. But thanks for looking/reading anyway!
Journaling: Then and now. So much has changed, yet one thing, the thing that matters, has remained the same. The foundation of our relationship remains rock solid. That foundation is love. Simply love. It was true then, and it is true now. We have experienced ups and downs, but our love for one another has never wavered. Just two years into our relationship we became parents. It came at such a young age, but for us, it only made our love stronger. Our journey into parenthood was the best experience of our lives. Then when we finally married, we were ten years into our relationship. Many people wondered why we waited so long. There is no answer. We always knew we were meant to be, marriage or not. I have to say, it was so worth the wait. We had the wedding of our dreams filled with excitement, love, happiness, and joy. It doesn’t seem like it was a year ago. I recall it in my mind as if it were yesterday. Becoming your wife turned me into the woman I had always wanted to be. The woman I was destined to be. And over this year, I have fallen in love with you even more if that is possible. Now, as we start a new journey of our lives and plan for our future - a home of our own, another child - I realize that we are lucky to be able to look to our past with fondness. It is with God’s grace that we have made it this far. And with Him in our lives, I can firmly say, I loved you then, I love you now, I’ll love you always.
