Romantique Publication Layout with Instructions

Hello Crafty Friends,

Life has been busy...I'm just hopping on to share a Publication Layout in this month's Kaisercraft Magazine.  I made this with the Romantique Collection.  I found a pink photo to scrap...me in a pink t-shirt! Ben took this of me out in the backyard one afternoon as he was taking photos of the boys.  I was sitting on the edge of the garden watching on.  Its kind of a contemplative photo and I thought it went well with the sticker title...which I guess is true and kind of scary at the same time!

"Every single moment you are writing the story of your life."

This Layout took me days to make, I'll admit it.  It sat on the kitchen bench for ages while I tweaked it.  Some come quicker than others, this was a slow one.

I have written instructions for this Layout that can be found on the Kaisercraft Blog here. Or you can read them here:
