You Are My Hero (SHCG "Scrap Your Man" & "Scrapjack" Challenges)

This is my response to both Denitza's "Scrap Your Man/Men" & "Scrapjack 'Sleepy Powers' LO" Challenges. (Link to Brenda's fab "Sleepy Powers" - http://scrapbook.com/galleries/110237/view/910201/-1/0/1.html). The matted photo isn't flush w/ the right side, there's the other side of the matte then a narrow margin that got cut off the right side of the scan. This is my 1st ever one photo 12x12 LO. The pic is from DH's Fordham's Graduate School of Social Services grad (he now works w/ emotionally disturbed kids); I have other LOs planned about the whole event (we took days off, family came in from out of state, did a bunch of fun stuff, etc) so the "who/what/where/when" will appear on the LOs before this one.

Journaling: "You amaze me – the way you love & appreciate me so sweetly. The way you make my worries melt away w/ one touch or a few words. The way you can see situations in the best possible light. The way we laugh in sync at stuff no one else understands. The way you've triumphed over hardships & achieved so much. The way you affect others w/ your empathy & kindness. The way your strength inspires others, like me, to be stronger. The way you take care of me & feel custom made for holding me. The way you bring light & love into the world. Thank you for making this world a better place. I am lucky to be your wife. I love you, Baby!"

I'm not happy w/ a few things here (eg my gold Brilliance teardrop ink pad is detached from the base so I had a difficult time w/ it & hardly had any control over the gold inking, the gold ink doesn't look as glittery, shiny & nice here as it does IRL, etc). I also tried putting the "you are" above the photo to more emulate Brenda's LO but I (& the gals at my crop) thought it looked better above the journaling. I chose the music paper because we both play music & DH recently started gigging out w/ his band, but also because he brings music to my life. Funky-scrap-quirks aside, just seeing DH blush when he saw this was worth it all!

TFL :o)
