Hello and welcome to my stop on the Memory Makers Magazine Blog Bounce! If you've been following along, you should have arrived from Lain's blog, but if not, you can start at the Memory Makers Magazine blog, or you can just continue on from here.
Our theme this month is all about the changes in our lives! If there is one thing that is "constant" and predictable about life, it's change. Some of you may know that Seth and I have been together for a long time.. 9-1/2 years this month, to be exact! I thought it would be fun to create a page with a few different photos of us from over the years. :)
I used a PageMap from this month, changing a few things here and there, but sticking close to the sketch. I really love this sketch and can see myself using it for many different layouts!
It was a lot of fun to pull out some of our "older" photos, from before the digital camera age. :) I did a lot of stamping and distressing on this page, and even misted some Vanilla Shimmer and Gold Glow Smooch Spritz!
The journaling reads: "It's funny to see that even after 9-1/2 years together, we really haven't changed much physically. Well, Fluffy looks cuter. :) But our love is definitely much deeper. ♥" (By the way, Fluffy is 7 years old; she joined our family in 2004.)
It felt so good to stamp after not doing so for a while! Here's a close-up of my title area:
Don't you think that the Timeless Portrait Designer Series Paper is just perfect for the theme? I absolutely love this collection! :)
Ok, I have to run for now. Your next stop on the blog bounce is Wendy's blog! Enjoy the hop, and thanks for stopping by!
