Description: I created this simple layout using a pretty piece of sheer fabric wrapped around textured paper. I glued a photo to a precut picture mat that I colorized using gold rub on cream paint. I added the gold metallic ribbon and metal butterflies. I printed the journaling on a transparencey. Here is the journaling:
"This is a picture of my parents
shortly before they were married.
They have both walked across many
stepping stones through 56 years of marriage,
laughter, tears, joy, pain, and hurt.
They have lived and learned and through it all,
vowed to walk together on the road of life."

The metal embellishment quote reads: "Love is not a matter of counting years, it's a matter of making the years count. "
