LOC What Happened?

Today is our 19th Wedding Anniversary and can you guess what I got - it was the biggest shock when I looked at this photo  - what happened to us - where did we go!?!?!? LOL!
 

Having children makes time fly - they grow up so fast and before you know it they have gone from being babies you hold in your arms, to teenagers - and what happened to us in the meantime - we joke about it between us and my DH says he used to have a '6 pack' - but now he has the whole keg!!

As for me - I have my figure to my son, my hair to my DD1 and my sanity to my DD2 and none of them have come back properly!  LOL!  What can you do - you sure cant fight it! It seems the changes are here to stay - arghhh!!


I started this layout at My Scrapbooking evening with my friend and SU demo Ann - all of the papers are Stampin' Up.  Ann is used to me starting something and then coming home and either tearing it apart or adding to it - in this case I  added the Layers of Color Natural Flourish art stencil for the flourish behind the flowers, sponging it on with Distressing Ink


Layers of Color  Flowering Gems and Polka Dot Love art stamp sets for the flower centres and had Kindy Glitz added for some shimmer.


This gorgeous clock is a gift from my friend and neighbour Nat and I just had to use it on this layout - it symbolises how time flies by - and the wonderful years we have had together.


A little surprise is  behind the photo, a tag is  tucked away behind the torn DP.  I decided to do it when I came across a  gorgeous piece of embossed card stock and it was just the right size to make a tag - it just went from there.  I used an image from the Renaissance Hearts art stamps set for the top of the tag, colouring it with SU Chalks, cutting it out and adding that special touch of Kindy Glitz!

It is finished off with a Heidi Grace Rub On and a photo (of course!)  So what do you think?

  6. This is gorgeous Linda and that clock is to die for!

    Age is a wired thing, I still feel like 22, but they tell me that I am not anymore - where did the time go? Where did I miss out?

    The two of you look so good togheter, and luckily love does not care about age!
    I wish you another 19 good years togheter - and then another 19, and then maybe even another 19.

    Hugs
