You & Me. Always. - A Wall Hanging w/YMH!

This is one of my favorite photos...& I finally got around to scrapping it! It's a photo of when my hubby asked me to marry him on Christmas Eve 5 1/2 years ago. After being set up on a blind date by mutual friends, we had been dating a 1 1/2 years when he popped the question. He did so in front of both our families & it was so wonderful! As you can see in the pic, I instantly burst into tears before saying yes. His sister snapped the shot at the perfect time & this is one of my most treasured possessions. So with that in mind, I made sure to use lots of beautiful Prima flowers, lace, & bling from Your Memories Here for this wall hanging! 

Supplies:

Patterned Paper/Title - Cosmo Cricket (hey sugar & circa 1934 collections)

Flowers/Studded Bling/Lace - Prima

Glimmer Mist - Tattered Angels (vintage rose)

Die Cut Plastic - KI Memories

Journaling & Date Spot - Shabby Chic Crafts

Ink - Tim Holtz Distress (walnut stain)

Adhesive - Glue Glider Pro, Aileen's Fast Grab Tacky Glue

Tulle Ribbon/Pen - Stash

I love the background paper I used too...but well, it's not actually paper. It is this lovely, thick, patterned plastic & I adore it's die cut shape. I also liked the masculine edge it gave to the LO. With the various shades of blue & that strong pattern, it contrasted well with the soft pinks & creams...kinda like our personalities! And the Cosmo Cricket kit from YMH keeps on giving....the kit (which is just $10 & there are 2 to choose from!) is chock full of fabulous goodies that you can use on soooo many projects! I know there are just a few left in the YMH Store so visit HERE & grab one of your own before it's too late! I also used my Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist to dye the pretty Prima lace that sweet pink...I love how I can always use their product to make what I already have work for me! And, the YMH store is full of fun Tattered Angels products...you can check them out HERE!

Thanks so much for stopping by again & letting me share this personal (& photo heavy post...LOL!) LO with you. I can't wait to finish it up with some sweet journaling!
