First, please excuse the horrible picture quality. I was all snuggled in on the couch with my materials laid out and didn’t want to get up and get the big camera. Or apparently turn on the light. Second, I made this with materials I already had on hand. Looking back I would have gotten some new scrapbook paper and stickers and made it a little prettier. Maybe one day. When J and I got married we got the sweetest cards with the most wonderful notes, blessings, and words of encouragement for our marriage. I wanted a way to keep all the cards together in one place and after browsing Pinterest, I came across this…

I picked items that we had around the house, some items were in plain sight and others were more hidden. I printed the list off on card stock to make it a little sturdier. Looking over his list. So excited! “Hmmmm. Where should I start?” After he…
