WEDDING ALBUM Pages 1 thru 3

HI Everyone ~ It has been a while since I posted. Hope everyone is well and starting to enjoy the nice weather. I have been working on a wedding album for a friend and I am 2 pages away from finishing it. WaHooooo!!! LOL! What I have decided to do is post 4 pages of the album each day. Some pages come really fast to me and others take me a few days to plan out. I don't know if that is how it is with all of you. I make most of the album without pictures, I leave that for the person receiving the album. This is a 12 x 12 album and I am not sure what is the best way to take pictures. If anyone has any suggestion on how to take pictures of 12 x 12 layout pages, please let me know.
Here is the first page of the album and then the next 2 pages to follow.


The reddish pink paper is Martha Stewart, the shaped paper with the turquoise trim is from my stash, pink flowers are heidi swapp, the other flowers are from a stamp and I cut them out. The paper for the picture is from Best of K&Company. The letters for wedding are from Tie The Knot Cart and the Mr. and Mrs. are from a stamp and I cut it out.


Here is a close up of the Wedding and Mr. and Mrs.

Now for the Bride and Groom page. The paper is Martha Stewart, Bride and Groom are from Paper Doll Dress Up Cart. Journal boxes and hearts are from K&Company Elegance die cut and the circles of love are from Paper Pups Cart. Floral stamp is from my stash.



















I cut the bride and groom from Dress Up Paper Dolls, all of the paper is regular card stock and the brides dress is from polka dot velum. I do believe the dress turned out great. I uses stickles to accent the bouquet and the sides of the grooms pants along with a white gel pen and googly eyes. LOL!















I used a EK Success corner adorner punch for the corners, this will hold the pictures.

Hope all of you like the first 3 pages, I will continue to post 4 pages for each post until I have posted all the page of the album.

My friend is will be sooooooo excited!!!!!

Happy Crafting!!!!

COW CONGRATULATIONS CARD

Hi Everyone ~ I can't believe I haven't posted anything in a while. I guess time has pass me by. Spring is my most favorite time of year and watching everything turning green has just taken up my time I guess. LOL!!!!! I thought it would be fun to make a Cow Congratulations card. Don't you just love the Create A Critter Cart?







The card is a 5 3/4 by 51/4 sort of an odd size, you can't waist your scraps. I used Create a Critter Card. The COW was made on my Gypsy with Lyrical Letters. The purple strip at the bottom border is a punch from EK Success and the arrow, congratulation and flowers that are on the border, were all from the dollar bin at JoAnns. The milk bottle in the inside of the card is also from Create A Critter. I just love using google eyes. Hope you all like the card. I will be posting later today Thanking the two wonderful and talented ladies for my BFB awards. It's garage sale time and I am going to hit the 5 that are going on this weekend. Sometimes I get lucky and find great scrapbooking items. LOL!

Happy Crafting!!
