Animals and or Flowers Theme Challenge no 167 for S4fC blog

Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! My heart's desire with this posting is featuring the newest fortnight challenge #167 for Scrapping 4 fun Challenges blog that has a theme of animals and/or flowers.

My scrapbook layout focal is the digital image from our sponsor Sheepski Designs! Very whimsical! Since I've paired it with documenting my hubs' and I's 7th 'date' out of 23 leading up to our 23rd wedding anniversary in 2019, I thought the jar of honey was symbolic because I gave a card to my 'honey' that night. We also crossed a river to get home--in a car, not a boat, but there was still water involved.

I'm going to have to go back and check my notes for the actual day this was in January 2019. Must have been in the first half. We started our 'dates' around December 28, 2018 and got our 23rd date completed on our 23rd anniversary of January 27, 2019. All I remember now is due to the penciled 7s on the back of these little snapshots!!!

Date #7 of 23 "With my honey pot" scrapbook layout project:

***************************************

Papers and embellishments were a mini kit pulled out of a slightly larger compiled kit for 2 other blogs: CKC and GTSB, both for May 2020.

The 2 above photos are the selected inspirational kit from Club Echo Park's March 2020 kit that is the kit to copy cat for May 2020's challenge at Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog.

The stickers from Webster Pages shown in the pic below along with the reds, blues, greens, and yellows from the inspirational CKC kit were the driving force for the mini kit to make the featured layout of this blog post! Love the cheerfulness of this LO! And the whimsy of the illustration digi adds some symbolic connections without having photos of my husband and I. He's my honey! We argue and fuss at each other sometimes but he's still my honey pot! :)

Above and below: pics of mini kit for this layout; the roll of washi tape wasn't used; thought I might have space for a small section of it but that didn't happen.

Digital image is colored and has word/phrase stickers from Webster Pages on it but wasn't mounted to the navy blue chevron striped patterned paper yet.

more still to come....
