Another Triple Challenge


I've taken on three different challenges this evening!
In no particular order....
The layout design was based on this sketch. Not bad if I have to say so myself! :)

They put a challenge out to use a love note. This note (sorry about the handwriting) was from my hubby. I'd had it in a box just waiting to be scrapped! Thanks Lets Get Shabby for the inspiration!
