Forever Together

Happy Halloween everyone. I am back with a quick post today. We just finished bagging up about 16 bags of leaves from our front yard....now it is time to put our feet up and wait for the trick or treaters. But first a layout....

We went for a hike to a waterfall last weekend and our "daughter-in-law" took a series of photos for us to commemorate our 38th Wedding Anniversary which is at the end of this week.

Here are some closeups....

I fussy cut the flower cluster from one of the papers and added buttons from my stash and a little birdie sticker peeking out from behind. The tag is from a pair of jeans that I recently purchased. How cool is that brand name....2016?

Product List: AC Cardstock, Echo Park Paper Co. - Fall is in the Air paper & stickers, Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Vintage Photo & Dear Lizzy Thickers.

I used the latest sketch from The Studio Challenges. 

I was also inspired by the Let's Get Sketchy 5th Monday Mood Board - I was inspired by the colours, the bouquet reminded me of my wedding bouquet - it was fall colours.
