Several months ago, before CHA Winter, whispers began about Crate Paper's newest release, the Restoration line. During the show itself, bloggers showed glimpses of the line and how it was used. I pretty much had a conniption fit. I love this line. I love the colors, the images, the peacefulness and energy at once that it conveys. Love.
So I decided to use this very loved line to create a page about a very loved person--you guessed it, the 'ol hubby!
The title is a quote: "If I know what love is, it is because of you" (Herman Hesse). The journaling reads: This time with you, this loving and growing, is the whole point of my life. The most wonderful and magnificent thing I've ever done. Thank you for showing me what love can be.
Before I sat down to create this page, I made a little "kit" to go with my Crate products, including several packs of Thickers, Evalicious buttons, other embellies, and Pink Paislee artisan tape. That way, I have a whole little pile to go off when I get started!
This next page was my Sketchy Thursdays combo last week. Go here to see the sketch and the amazing takes on it!
Used the new Studio Calico label stamps on this one and had so much fun!And now, I'm off to scrap!
And PS-- I'm inordinately proud of myself for going to a scrapbook store today and only spending $6.53. That's right, my friends! Has that ever happened successfully to you?
