25 Years Ago Today…
…Steve and I were married.
He is my rock — truly, the salt of the earth. I have been so blessed!
ETA: Lots of comments and emails on how young I look — LOL — I agree, I do! I was 30 years old in this photo!
______________________________
This is the first scrapbook page I have ever completed! I have designed a number of layouts for classes, but I’ve never completed one by adding pictures. So today I’m happy — layout + picture = COMPLETE!!!! And I LOVED doing it — easy and fun!!! This page is 12 x 12. The photo is on an 8 x 8 sheet, layered onto the 12 x 12 sheets.
I was very pleased with how well the silk ribbon worked into my page. It’s so lightweight it adds no bulk and the fluffy bow will press down nice and neat when inserted into the sleeve. I used the Bow Easy to make the bow. Another fun and practical use for my beloved silk ribbon!!!

Congratulations on your 25th anniversary. Love your layout, and its awesome for your first finished one. I think you should get a 12 x 12 box picture frame and Hang it on your wall. Its to beautiful not to display. This gives me ideas for my 25th coming up.
Thank you for posting.

Awwwww! HAPPY 25TH ANNIVERSARY, Sharon!!! I didn’t recognize you with the long, curly hair. I love how well you speak of Steve and your solid relationship; it’s so refreshing to hear. Best wishes to you both for many more years together! You’ve created such a gorgeous memento; I agree that it needs to go in a box frame and put on display in your lovely home.
Happy Anniversary!!! I LOVE your page!! I can’t believe this is your first! WOW!

A beautiful couple that has bloomed into a quarter of a century of love. Much happiness for a long and prosperous life together.
Oh, my! Look at all that hair! You both look so young — younger than 30. Such a cute couple! Congratulations on your 25th, Sharon. You certainly made a gorgeous page to commemorate the occasion. This is exquisite!
That’s so awesome!
