22 - six year old me

I'm not sure why the cardstock looks so blue in this picture, IRL, it is almost the exact colour of the lightest blue in the swatch.

To make this page, I was inspired by this video that my cousin posted a link to on Facebook : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4jgUcxMezM . I really liked how the "future me's" talked to the "younger me's" in it.

Also, I was inspired by this pin : http://pinterest.com/pin/119275090101300745/

And, I wanted to remember some beautiful words that my husband spoke to me this week. We are celebrating 15 years married in October, but I think that this time in our lives, we are the closest we've ever been.

Evidence : patterned ribbon, cardboard, border punch, chevron pattern, crown

Testimony : I used the inspiration word "someday"
and used a childhood photo instead of a memory.

Journalling : someday, you will meet and marry the love of your life and he will treat you like a princess.

when you are thirty-six he will finally be able to make you see that he truly loves you unconditionally, every day. you will have trouble believing that you deserve it.

he will tell you that you are beautiful. you will cry and laugh and say no i’m not.

he will tell you that there are so many good things about you. and you will wonder if that is actually true.

but you do. you are. and it is.
