I have hundreds of rubons in my stash which I rarely use; I was going through them the other day and thinking 'what a waste' until I saw this sketch; I knew that I had the perfect ones to complete it... no additional papers, just rubons!The subject for the Once Upon a Sketch challenge is interesting and can be used in so many ways; birth, death, marriage, travel etc... so, as some of you would know, I had a lot to choose from but I didn't want this post to be sad, I have scrapped a few of our weddings and most of our births. I decided, and it was probably prompted by our recent wedding anniversary, to scrap this photo taken at a friends wedding in February.
I have always loved the idea of a photo booth but have never been game to try one until my niece's wedding in October 2012. I was surprised by how much fun it can be but also how conscious I was of looking silly. Nothing had changed between that wedding and the one where this was taken!
My husband and I; too tightly bound to really let go and have some fun with it but I like them anyway. The Event that Changed my Life... meeting this man; the love of my life, my protector, my friend. We have just celebrated 36 years of marriage, have been a couple for just over 40 years and met 43 years ago at the ages of 14 and 15 at a monastery. I thank God for him every single day. We live simply, are grateful for what we have, laugh and love our ever growing family and dream a little!The journaling is on the back.
Thank you for looking and any comments you may leave, best wishes.
Good on you using those rub ons up! It's a GOOD feeling, right??!!! And I love the mono colours here - I'd be like you - a bit self conscious in those booths....beautifully scrapped & good on you getting them 'out there'!!! So happy to see you playing with us at OUAS.....And if you haven’t already done so, you can link this to our Once Upon A…Sketch Facebook Page for a chance at our special FB prize!:):)
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that you went in the photo booth and have it a go. And these are photo are adorable and I love love love seeing you use such small photos. That's a bit different for you. Gorgeous page!
ReplyDeletejust perfect , actually beyond perfect xoxo
ReplyDeleteAw this is a really lovely layout and a wonderful testament to the life you and your DH have had together. I love the photo booth photos and know exactly what you mean about being awkward. I think it is our age... we were not as exposed to cameras and photos as the kids of today are. But they are very sweet and they show how close you are. Congrats on 36 years and 43 together is just amazing. Thanks so much for playing along with us at OUAS this month.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cool page Susan. I love the simplicity of it and the fact that the photos are the focus. You and Peter are my inspiration :-)
