Best Day Ever - Two Page Wedding Scrapbook Layout

Time to share another layout from my youngest son and daughter-in-love's wedding album. It's possible I've said this with other pages, but this is one of my faves!! So many pictures, and so hard to choose the best ones for the album.
 Aren't they just the cutest! I tried to keep my page simple, but wanted to highlight the photo of them on this gorgeous old bridge. In addition to the white mat, I added a second patterned mat and laid it down on a patterned banner to bring out the color of the bridge. These were both scraps I happened to have in my stash. I love using my scraps!! I was pretty excited to find the title in Design Space too.
 The little bit of twine wrapped around pictures on either side give added another layer of detail and texture. Could the lighting have been any better for these pictures? Even the black and whites add a little drama to the layout.
I hope you are inspired by the wedding layouts that I've been sharing! I have 5 or 6 more to share from the reception, so be sure to stop back.

Have a crafty weekend and stay warm!

"Here Comes the Bride" - Two Page Wedding Layout

And...Here comes the beautiful bride! She's a beauty inside and out!
 I can't even tell you how hard it was to choose the pictures for this album. They must be super photogenic, because they were all beautiful. The beautiful flower girl is my granddaughter  from my oldest son and daughter-in-love. She is a delight. That dress, though! She is so precious! The boys are nephews of the bride.
 I am pleased with how this layout came together. I've had the journalling cards in my stash forever, and they seem to tie this entire layout together. I love the light taupe matting on the pics to help the photos take front and center on the white card stock.  I mixed black and white photos with color all the way through this album. It was a bit of a challenge, but after awhile it came easier to me. In addition to spreading the black and white photos across the pages for balance, I'm kind of anal about making sure the people in the photos are looking towards the center of the page, rather than looking off the edge of the page. Combine those design standards, and I can drive myself a bit crazy with my photo placement. 😜
 I took some close ups so you could see more of the details. Aren't they a lovely pair?? I hope I did these photographs justice.
 I adore this black and white of the bride. She looks so deep in thought, confident, and ready to tie the knot!! The photo of my son below as she walks down the aisle! He was getting a bit emotional. I love that moment of all weddings, and love to watch the groom's expressions.
So happy to share these layouts with you all. I hope you are enjoying them. Thanks for stopping by.

"We Gather Together" - Two Page Wedding Scrapbook Layout

Hope you all enjoyed your holidays! They go way too fast. We are still decorated for Christmas, partially because we have extended family coming to celebrate this weekend. I thought I better get in a quick post before things get crazy with preparations.

This is another wedding layout from my son and daughter-in-love's wedding in the fall of 2017. The pictures are the parents being ushered into the ceremony.
 This layout is not one of my favorites for some reason. Well, first of all, I am in it. 😜 Secondly, it's kind of pale, but I do think it works well with the pictures. The title makes it for me. Hope you like it. You know, they can't all be our favorites, right?
 I managed to fit 7 pictures on this two pager and still had some room for design elements. Most of the design is part of the patterned paper. I added some decorative tape and a key that I had in my stash. The horizontal tape across the bottom helps to tie the pics together and ground them a bit. The key is just for fun. The chandeliers bring a bit of elegance to the page to highlight this treasured moment in time. The Mom's are highlighted with striped matts and color photos. I used black and white for the rest of the pictures. Do you ever mix black and white photos with color photos on the same layout?
Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you are enjoying these wedding pages! You'll have to come back to see some black chandeliers on a later page in the album. 😍

Two page srapbook layout - "Queen Bee"

So many layouts and so little time to post. It's definitely time for another Scarlet Rose layout.

This little darling is our favorite little sweetheart and it's hard to make myself put her pictures aside and scrap other people and events. Surely everybody can understand my dilemma, especially if you are a Grandma like me. =)


What a cutie pie! I was thrilled to find this title from Cricut's "Kate's ABC's" cartridge. I need to own this. A big thank you to my BSBFF for sharing hers with me! The title and bees that I cut, totally made the page.
 The paper is from a page layout kit that I found on sale at Meijers. I used my new StampinUp! honeycome texture folder on vellum for some interest in the corners. I rubbed a little ink on it so the texture would show, then cut around the hexagons.

The cute little button came from the same kit.
 A few little rhinestones on the point of each crown totally finished it off.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today! I appreciate you all. Stay cool....
