Married Love Birds

So, Justin and I have been married now for over six months. I really loved the photos we took two weeks ago. It was cold, Justin wasn't happy about taking photos in the wind, but we made it work. I didn't like the first picture because I thought my arm was in a funny position. But after looking carefully at the photo, I really like how I'm leaning into Justin and he's sheltering me from the cold wind that was blowing; very much a metaphor for how our life is - I always know he's there to protect me. So that's the photo I chose from those six I took that day.

On your next layout: scrapbook what's been on your mind. Let your journaling be the star of this layout.

Remember when I talked about my feelings when someone asks us "so, how's married life?" I knew I had to make a layout about this, and I thought the layout from our six month "shoot" would be perfect for it.

I don't think I've ever cut out an ellement out from a page before, and I really liked these two birds on one sheet I had. I love how they look perched atop the photo. I think it still says, "even though I'm saying that nothing has really changed in our relationship, we're still in love with each other and enjoy being married!"

Journaling says: We get asked this question so much - and it irks me every time! Life is exactly the same as before we were married, it's just two new terms: husband and wife. We've lived together 5+ years and we understand what makes the other tick, how to make them happy and what buttons not to push. It's still the little things that keep us happy: taking self portraits, watch a PPV and looking at our wedding photos. This is us: married - 6 months later.

I love the little bits of goodness at the bottom left side of this page too, makes me smile, and ties in more of the same colours of the birds!

There you have it; what's on your mind, get it onto a layout, and leave me a link so I can check it out! (Right now we're enjoying ourselves in Mexico - hope you're enjoying yourselves wherever you're at too!)
