"Bride" - Two Page Wedding Layout

As promised, here is the layout of the beautiful bride...my daughter-in-love. We are very proud to have her in the family. She fits right in!!

 I tried to keep the focus on the beautiful pictures, but thought the white scraping twine and StampinUp gemstone charm added a nice touch. It's been great to have Design Space for quick and easy titles.

 Both of my DIL's invited me to come along shopping for their dresses. I treasured that experience with them, especially as a "Boy Mom".  I'm proud of my boys for choosing their better halves so perfectly! They are an answer to prayers that we prayed over our boys since they were little.

 The white brick background paper came from a wedding pack, but the bottom section of paper was actually a beautiful scrap. I used a border punch for the scalloped strip placed on top of the wood washi tape. The title and flowers are from Cricut Design Space.

Thanks for stopping by and listening to me gush on my family!

Two Page Scrapbook Layout - "The Perfect Pair"

Last March, my youngest son asked the love of his life to marry him! 😻  He planned to propose in the middle of a photo shoot they had scheduled for themselves as a couple.

These photos were taken prior to the proposal in a coffee shop. I love how they turned out!

 They're obviously smitten with each other. They're also good for each other. Each of them is a better person because of the other. A match made only in heaven. The girl we prayed for him to find since he was a little boy. We are blessed that both of our boys have found the one true love who completes them.

 I don't remember where I got this paper, but it was quite perfect for engagement photos, don't you think? I added a little metallic washi tape and cut a few large diamonds with my Cricut.

These two are now happily married and I'm working on a wedding album for them. More to come on that project. Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

Two page layout - "Fall Fun"

Hello, November! I have another Scarlet layout to share with you from last fall.

My son and daughter-in-law carved out the pumpkin, plopped her in, and started shooting pictures. I'm sure it was a little slimey and cold, but she doesn't seem to mind it. The paper is Authentique, Bazzill and My Minds Eye (orange Chevron). I used scissors to cut along the Chevron line on the top and bottom edge of the accent paper.

I used patterned paper for the tree of circles cut with my Cricut. The negative space between the scalloped circles was the perfect spot for some journaling. Then, I cut out a BUNCH of tiny leaves and added them in a diagonal spray across the two page layout.

A few gemstones among the leaves add additional texture and dimension. 

The border on the left is made with three punched scalloped circles of reversible paper. I cut them in half to line the left side of the 8 x 10.
