Let’s take a little break from our series on Vacation Scrapbooks so that I can review the kit club, The Treasure Box Club. They sent me two of their kits to try. Right now I am just posting the layouts but I will be back in a while to post my review of the kit club.
Dramatic Birthday Boy Wishes
The first section of journaling reads: You can’t even blow out your candles without infusing some hilarity into it. This is why I love you.
The larger journaling block reads: You made it clear forever ago that you wanted no birthday parties and you like to keep your social circles separate. **Then your 35th birthday crept up.** One night at dinner you announced to the kids and I that you wanted us to throw you a “surprise” party. HUH? I questioned you over and over again. I thought you were joking. But we scheduled your party for after the day to give you a real surprise. Of course, Trinity revealed the surprise and then Blake told you your gift. So there were no surprises. Just lots of fun with family and friends and your humor.
Pencil Lines Sketch
I based the above layout on a sketch challenge from Pencil Lines, which is a really great place to see how people can use a sketch as a jumping off point, rather than as a crutch. If you’ve never been to that site, I recommend you check it out.
The Best Decision
Journaling reads: I couldn’t possibly have known you well enough in just two weeks to decide to marry you. In so many ways that decision was naive and immature. And yet, all the things I believed about you were right. You were exactly what I summed you up to be during those 2 weeks. You have goals. You make things happen. You’re real and you allow me to be real. You’re fun and funny–oh my gosh, so totally funny! You’re smart. You are peaceful and supportive. You pull out the very best in me. Marrying you was the best decision of my life.
I’m so glad I did it. I’m glad we rushed it. I love you so much, babe.
