Valentine's Day Framed Love Note

So, when I was trying to decide what quote (or lyric) I wanted to use for my Valentine's Day Sewn Art, I happened upon a quote that I loved.  "You're nothing short of my everything." - Ralph Block    - Isn't that sweet?  I knew it sounded like something I would say to my Hubby.  Okay so it's a little more poetic than my usual "Baby, you totally rock!"  So, I thought I would make a little love note for Hubby that he could look at everyday, even though I'm quite sure he won't look at it everyday, or tomorrow, or even ever again.  Oh well!  I'll know it's there.  So, let's get started shall we? 

I started by searching google for "printible envelope template".  I would LOVE to link you to the one I used, but sadly, I can't find it again.  Sorry.  Anyway, I printed out my template and cut it out.  I traced around the template on to my scrapbook paper, cut it out and folded it into an envelope.  Then I used craft glue to glue down the edges and secured it with paper clips until it dried.

I also added the patterned paper at the top so it would show behind my love note.  Then I went into Word and typed my love note, printed it out and cut it down to size. 

My note says, "Beloved - You're nothing short of my everything.  I love you!"  I left Ralph Block's name off of my love note.  I hope he's not offended.  Sorry Ralph!  And, yes, I do call my Hubby "beloved" all the time.  I know.  I'm weird. 

Then I found a frame I had stashed in the closet that has been there so long I didn't know I had it.  Love that!  BUT, I couldn't find another piece of scrapook paper to put in the back of the frame.  White wouldn't work because the frame is white.  I had a piece of gold, but it was almost the same color as my wall.  Nope.  I needed black.  I went back to the junk holder closet and came across a black file folder.  YES! 

Y'all do that kind of stuff too, right?  You cut up weird things to use as backgrounds in frames.  Seriously,  tell me I'm not the only one.  Anyway, this is how it turned out.

Sorry about the pictures.  I was having a really hard time with the flash and the glare of the lights. 

Yes?  No?  Let's try something else. 

Yes?  No? 

So, what do you think of my love note?  I think I need to go shop my house and find some more color to add to the table.
