This is a layout I thought the 'romantics' among you might like. It is based on a beautiful love poem "Is it a month" by renowned Irish writer, and poet, J.M.Synge (pronounced 'sing') who lived 1891-1909
I used my own 'Folded' paper for the poem to accentuate the era it was written in, and overlaid it on to a tree background using 80 opacity. Then I used dark blue colour masks opacity 6 at the top and graduating to opacity 3 towards the bottom. As the words "wet and windy hedge" are in the poem I aimed for an overall wintery effect as well as trying to keep the aged feel of the poem, finally for effect I added stars . Take a few minutes, click the preview and enjoy this wonderful old poem.
"And stars grew wilder, growing wise In the splendour of your eyes"

Beautiful poem!! I love what you did here! I have to say SOOOO sorry for not stopping by lately.... life has finally gotten in the way of my "blog time". My son and DIL had a baby... one pound 3 ounces... so I've been playing Grandma and watching the other grandkids while everyone else visits the hospital. Things will get better, LOL.
ANYWAY.... THANK YOU for all the fab freebies I've missed! I love your wood tags!!! And the wedding alpha is to die for! Gorgeous. Oooohhh... and thank you for the blog award! I never thought I'd see THAT coming my way, haha! Needless to say, it may take awhile before I get to pass it on. If you've visited my blog, it's been a few weeks since I've had time to even post (jeesh). I sooo love your blog and can't wait til I have my time back to devote to visiting. HUGE hugz!!!!
