LOVE

Hello!

Not very often that I do a layout about us, Chris and me.  I was lucky to have my sister taking this picture as I am often the "photographer"   You all know what I mean!  I chose to have 4 banners and 4 hearts.  This represents the # of the years we were together before we got married. 
(4+4= 8)   8 years together! All of this started at the high school.  We continued through during our university days.  Two months after we graduated with our BA degrees, we got married!  Next month, we celebrate our 20th anniversary!  The butterflies represent the # of children we have. FOUR children! The two pink gems and the two blue gems represent that we have two girls and two boys.   I used the same chevron patterned paper twice, this represent the two angels that we lost through miscarriages.

For the Little Red Wagon, the challenge #189 was to use 3 or more patterned papers.  On this layout I used four patterned papers.  Three papers are obviously patterned papers (the three circles) and the banners are also from a patterned paper with very light streak of lines on them.
 
Using this Amanda's sketch, I rotated it since I had the 4x6 instead of 6x4 picture.   Also the title placement was different from the sketch,  I put my title directly onto the picture.
 
For the CSI case #75 challenge:  The colour scheme: I used all of the colours.  The evidence, I used lace, chevrons, flowers, distressing, jewels, wood, heart and banner (I did not put the title on the banner)
Challenges I played:

Little Red Wagon: Challenge #189 - Use 3 or more patterned paper
Two Scrapbook Friends: Amanda Wolff's Sketchy Challenge #10
Two Scrapbook Friends: Forum Crop Bingo (two lines)
Color, Stories, Inspiration Case # 75

INSPIRATIONS ARE CONTAGIOUS!
