Katie saw what I did for her brother (j + j) and wanted a custom piece to give to her husband on their 4th wedding anniversary.  They exchanged vows outside, in the rain, under an umbrella, and so I wanted very much to incorporate that theme.  I styled text from their history together, the birth of their daughter, and lyrics to Dave Matthews' "Crash" -- their wedding song -- along with scrapbooking embellishments to look like raindrops.  The flowers symbolize all the departed family members who were remembered at their ceremony.  Underneath the scrapbooking papers and embellishments is an acrylic background, meant to evoke windy, rainy, grey Chicago, where they met and now live.
