Love That Lasts

Yesterday I received some teaser pictures from our family photographer Angela Smith of Waterloo. It is always like Christmas when they appear in my email and it immediately gets my mojo going. This photo of Rich and I makes me so happy.  After 26 years as a couple it really shows that we are still in love. (Isn't Angela a magical person?)

In addition to a great set of pictures, I discovered a great sketch at Stuck?! sketches. I decided to play along and I created this cleanly simple design (using some donated DCVW paper and last fall's Simple Stories line).

These papers really brought out the orange in my sweater and the fall colours of the leaves. I loved the brown and blue combination too (Thanks to Jayne at TSF for a great colour challenge combo!).

The little tabs are pulled from several old sticker sheets in these matching shades.
Finally my title is SNF Lollihop and cut with my Cameo. It really speaks to how I feel about my marriage. Thanks especially to my hubby Rich, who loves me unconditionally and noticed something special about my photo right away!

Until next time, keep doing what you love to do!
