5 Reasons to....

For this months Sarah's Cards challenge we were asked to use some pins from pinterest chosen by the DT to inspire our layout. I chose these three from those selected;


I wanted to scrap this photo of Phil and our 4 monkeys just after he returned from his second Afghanistan tour in spring 2010. I used Authentique papers and started by cutting the 6 hearts to represent our family of 6 and sewing them onto the cardstock using the WRMK sew easy tool and some grey twine. I layered up the pp's and some burlap and lace and a couple of quotes and added the journalling tag and photo. I made some bunting using the ruler pp and counting my reasons out and added the wording which was from stickers rather than written on the card itself.
I am very happy with how it turned out and the family like it too :)

    Love the hearts and the distressed paper mat. Bet they were pleased to see Daddy back safely

    I really like how you've adapted the word art and the rectangular banner. I often include amounts of an element to represent things too - nice touch :)

    Thank you for playing along with our challenge!
