I Love Apples

Sym says, KAYA!


Journaling:
"Please don't peel the skin, its my favorite part of the apple"
-vien-

Materials Used:
card stocks
knife, scissors
glue, pen

Process:
I drew the frames. I cut the words "I love apples" from the mat/frame and slipped the picture in. No glue is holding that particular picture. It's held there by the words I cut to the matting/frame. The apples are handdrawn and handcut, too. (Felt like a kindergarten/grade school, assembling this LO, hehehe.)

Love Notes

Sym says, KAYA!

This layout is composed of letters and notes that my DH gave me when we were still single. I attached the letters to the cardstock without permanently adhering them because some of them also have notes written at the back. I planned the layout such that I can still pull them out and read them whenever I want.

Journaling:
The journaling are the love letters themselves as shown below.


Materials Used:
Daisy D's papers for the background, buttons from Mitch Sy, ribbons from Tutuban Center, other papers from Nina, Rob and Bob paper for the pink and yellow flowers, Prima flower.

Techniques Used:
I used the Basic Grey Notch and Die Tool to create notches that would anchor my notes. Brads also served the same purpose. I did not glue the letters to the base paper so I can pull and read them whenever I feel like it.
