"Ever After" inspired scrapbook page

Here's my first challenge layout for the month, for a new challenge site I've recently come across called From Screen 2 Scrap.  Here's the inspiration for April:

 The challenge is to tell your own "Cinderella story" with bonus points for using bling, and for using a fairy-tale title.  Maybe because we're coming up to twenty years of marriage this year, or maybe because I could count the number of pages I've done about our relationship one one hand, but for whatever reason, I decided to give this one a go.  Here's what I came up with:

Now, I don't know about you, but I don't believe in fairy tale happy endings that rely on the feeling of being "in love" to see them through.  I think it's the work that you put into a relationship that really makes it count.

 My first thought on where to put my journalling was to hide it behind the big butterfly, but it quickly became apparent that there wasn't going to be enough space there, so I settled for a few verses from 1 Corinthians 13 instead:

Powerful words that remind us love isn't just about how you feel, but how you act towards those you have feelings for!

Here's to happy endings, in spite of the fact that we live in real life, not in a fairytale!
