You and Me

I've been very busy getting ready for the holidays - meal planning, shopping, decorating - and I needed a little break from all of that. So I made myself a cup of tea and sat down for some much needed scrapbooking time. The latest sketch challenge over at The Memory Nest provided me with some inspiration....
and I created this layout using pictures of Steve and I that were taken on our twelfth wedding anniversary.
Twelve years! Really? Where does the time go???
The paper I used for this layout is old (Granola by Basic Grey), found in the depths of my paper bin, but perfect for these pictures. All of the embellishments are also from my stash; it has been quite some time since I have bought any scrapbooking supplies as I have been enjoying working with what I have on hand.

As usual, the other members of the Design Team have created some beautiful layouts and cards based on this sketch - be sure to check out their work.

This is my last contribution as a member of The Memory Nest Design Team. I want to thank Leslie for the opportunity to be a part of this incredibly talented group. I have learned a lot, created a lot and have had a lot of fun.

    1. Thank you Marci. I will have to look up that paper as my daughter just lost her first tooth and a scrapbook page is in order to commemorate the event.

  5. This is really amazing that you are together for so long. Such couples always inspire me, as my parents divorced when I was 4. Though, my parents in law are already together for 35 years and it really amazes me. The best wishes to you and your family!
