49 and Market Layout - Forever and Ever & You Have My Heart

Hello

The next 2 pages feature the heart frames from the 49 and Market ARToptions Rouge Ephemera Bits. I have used many layers of tickets and tags sandwiched in between the Fabscraps papers. I loved that there is a co-ordinating circled sentiment for each heart frame!

I have also created a journaling card pocket tucked in behind the paper layers on every page. In each pocket, I have placed 3 journaling cards - see the memories card below...

Other papers I used in this album are Stampin' Up 6x6 DSP packs - the above green layer is Mossy Meadow.

Be sure to pop back in again soon for the next 2 pages, we are halfway there!
