With This Ring

I used the sketch over at Stuck On U Sketches for the next layout in my friends' wedding album. I had already created this layout once, it was actually the first one I made for the album, but as I started working on the rest of the album the original layout just didn't work. So, I took this opportunity to remake it. The original layout can be seen here. Here is my new and improved layout, in my opinion at least. :)

I used the same photos and font. I also used the hibiscus, although in a different color. It is again a 12"x12" double layout and I used the sketch to create a double layout with it. The largest photo is 4"x6" and double matted with a shimmery coral cardstock and a glittery white cardstock. The two smallest photos are 2"x2," the larger hibiscus photo is 3 1/2"x4 1/2" and the two shell photos are 3 1/2"x5." All these photos are matted with the shimmery coral cardstock. I used foam adhesive to adhere the two smaller hibiscus photos. I used Cricut American Alphabet for the title. I used foam adhesive to adhere the word "ring" as well. I used French Manor to cut the circular rings. I then placed them around the photos in a circle. By doing this for both of the pages it looks like the top of heart. I added a set of wedding rings on the right-hand page. I cut those from Everday Pop-Up Cards. I also cut a hibiscus from Life is a Beach and added that to the left-hand page with foam adhesive. I added diamond Stickles to the word "ring" and to the diamond in the wedding ring. I also added glossy accents to the teal rings and to the bands of the wedding rings. It is a pretty simple one, but I really love the effect of it all. I like this one much better than the old layout. :) Enjoy!
