You are my Sweetheart layout *Paper House*

I can't live without music. I rely on it to keep me company while I drive around. I have it plugged in when I'm working out. And sometimes I even have it in the background when I'm working. It's also a great way for me to grab inspiration for projects such as this one....

 I wanted to create a layout featuring some of my favorite pictures of me and my husband in the first 10 years of our marriage. The title of the layout comes from a popular song that I always hear on the radio. I used some of the bright and cheerful patterns from the Summer Fun pack as it denotes the fun and happy feeling I want to remember my first decade with hubby. I added the butterflies to reminds me of the “butterflies in my tummy” feeling whenever my I see my husband.

Supplies Used:
