life is GOOD - Creative Embellishments April Challenge

Hi there

Happy FRIDAY!!!

There was a lot of love and meaning while creating this layout.  

I was inspired with this fun challenge over at

 Creative Embellishments April Challenge

April Challenge

The photo inspired me to celebrate, here is my take:

life is GOOD

In April, (April 25th) my hubby and I celebrate our wedding anniversary.  

This year, tradition has us all about wood.

We were challenged to use 4 items from the list of 10. I went with:  mist /paint, a flourish, handmade flower, embossing and baker's twine.

I chose Studio Calico; Yearbook Collection (how fitting!) as my background.

I spritzed it with copper sheer shimmer and inked with bark ink.

I accented our photo with a heart lace doilie

I handmade the flower using MME paper, hand punch, embossing folder,

MME decorative brad (centre) along with LYB stick pins; wood words

romantic - right!?

I love wood flourishes - that is my last one! So, if I win, I know exactly what I'd like to order *wink

~ just sayin'

In my stash, I had this MME Citron "Party" Wood Frame

...just perfect for this LO. A little bark ink, and I accented the frame

with brown bakers twine, Thickers; Jewelry Box, and this lil'set of key-ring

I accented the number 5

I faux stitched it and created a sign; 

side by side

year by year

I had to add a rub-on (a fav right now) and a mini-wooden word

happy Anniversary

ha!

all in my stash.

I love how this LO came together, keeping our love pure and our picture romantic.

This LO is going in a frame and hanging on our wall (today)

~ this is kinda a BIG deal (we don't hang portraits?!) 

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY Babe

I WOOD

do it all over again!

you are the love of my life

Thank you for stopping by
