Book Inspiration - I was inspired by the book Griffin and Sabine Trilogy by Nick Bantock. DH introduced me to the books when we first
met. The books are about the correspondence through letters and postcards of Grifin Moss and Sabine Strohem. The book is full of beautiful postcards and envelopes where you can pull out the leaders.

When we go married, DH and made our own postcards for wedding invitations. I used the postcards here in te mini-album. They detail
our coutship and on he opposite side, I added our photos from those moments and events.

Since Nick Bantock is a stamper, lots of stamping in this project.

Taking the book theme further, I used the 5 parts of a story in titling my layouts.

Subtitle: The Story Line (first page)

Postcard 1 - Freedom Bar
Layout 1 - Expositon (Setting the Stage)
Journaling: So, after you showed me your Millenium Falcon, you asked me if I liked books. I said yes, and you asked if I've read Griffin and
Sabine. And when I said no, you said you'd lend it to me and even brought the books to my apartment. Later, I realised this was your
standard pick-up line. I'm glad when you asked me what thought, I said, "I didn't get it." That left more an impression on you than any other because you were used to being told the book was beautiful or touching.
