Love Springs Eternal
This is a greeting card I created specifically for a challenge over at the CT Publishing blog. The challenge read: “Create a heart-shaped scrapbook layout, ATC, journal page, love letter, greeting card, collage, painting, quilt, fabric art, digital art or mixed media piece. Anything goes, as long as it’s heart-shaped!” The post was followed up with two images: a board box in the shape of an actual heart and a square pillow with four hearts.
So since I had already created—on this blog—several images that focused solely on a single heart, I thought it would be fun to get a little creative by using an image as a metaphor and incorporating the metaphor into text, next to the image.
This is what I came up with: Love Springs Eternal.

It’s a metaphor that hit home this past week as I looked over the last nineteen years of my life with my husband and realized that I truly loved him. I loved him when times were rough and I loved him when times were easy. I loved him when I couldn’t love myself and I loved him when he couldn’t love himself. I loved him through every storm, every drought, every feast, every season—for our love is true and it has continued to spring eternal…to blossom and bloom for all time.
