It's time for another Lasting Memories challenge reveal, and this week the challenge is to use at least 2 emojis in place of words in your journaling. This sounded like fun when I was thinking up the challenges, but it turned out to be a lot harder than I expected since my new printer doesn't like printing on cardstock, so I couldn't just print something out with emojis in it. I ended up finding mini stickers that represented the words I wanted to replace, so it worked out okay! Please click on the link above to join in with any of the journaling themed challenges this month, but hurry, because the current challenges end on February 28.
Even though the journaling is all about my hubby, he is not actually pictured on the layout, so I added the arrow to point out his shadow as he took pictures of us for the millionth time. Here's a close-up of the journaling. The irony of this was that we were actually on the Kissing Bridge in Big Bear when I started to feel less than loving and needed the reminder of how much I love my sweetie!

It is always enjoyable to read your journaling and your layouts! Yes! You pack so much into each layout, it's like reading a page. My eyes are going all the ways around, looking top to bottom and left to right! And I'm looking for your hearts! <3 I'm loving the idea of swapping out some words in the journaling with emojis!! Brilliant! Thanks for creating and sharing at Heart's Quest!
