Man – only one?? I use quotes ALL THE TIME in my scrapbooking ! The last one I used was from the Taylor Swift song ‘Fearless’
“And I don’t know how it gets better than this, You take my hand and drag me headlong – Fearless”
I used it on a page to describe my 3yr old, who certainly is fearless !
I think quotes are all around us, it doesn’t have to be a classic or by a serious intellect, it simply has to resonate with your soul.
PS I LOVE the artwork here !

I love this print… it’s so pretty. But then again, I love so much from Vol25.
