Mi amore

This layout was completed for a challenge over at Chirper Challenge (link on my sidebar). We had to follow a sketch, use ribbon, and use sewing (and the Cricut, of course). These pictures are from our 5th anniversary at Laguna Beach. A friend helped us find a romantic beach house that we rented for a few days. What a relaxing vacation for us!
It was my first time ever sewing over any pictures, and I was worried that I would regret it, but I think I do like it. 'Mi amore' is cut with Opposites Attract. Journaling says, 'Time spent with you is always time well spent--Laguna Beach, August 10, 2007.'
Here are some detail shots:

Thanks for looking!
