WOW HAVE I BEEN BUSY!!!

Yes...I did finally get it all done...
just in time to leave!  

What am I talking about?  

The wedding album of course!  

My previous posts have shown you a bit of the pages that were involved and here I will try to get in a few more.  I crammed so hard trying to finish that I just grabbed quick photos and now I have to put all the pieces together and figure out what different challenges they were for.

Here are a few pages that I know are for 

Turtle Soup.

The first is the scraplift for 8/6.  Here is the layout they chose for us to lift.

and here is mine-

and here is the chosen layout for Scraplift 8/13-

(I chose to turn it upside down!)

And this one is for the 

Team A August Week 3 challenge 

over at Let's Get Sketchy!

and mine-

I really enjoyed working on this one. I love working with sketches by Bev Code.  She is so absolutely talented and her sketches are so much fun.  I wanted to highlight a few of the fun things I added.

Don't these flowers say wedding to you with the little pearl centers?

And banners always signify festivities - 

what could be more festive than a wedding?

And I love it when I find a good opportunity to use this die.  It is one of my favorites. It is just so delicate isn't it?

I am going to stop here for now and try and get my day in order...the guinea pig cage is stinking so cleaning the cage is priority #1 and then off to the shower.  

I have a LOT more to share with you though so please plan to stop back again soon!

I love reading your comments and hearing what you think about my creations so please do consider leaving one if you have a minute!  

Thanks! 

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY CINDY & TIM PART 2

The first dance and cutting the cake...

The Roteman Family and Cindy's beautiful bouquet-

I am sharing the rest again with Robin's Scrap Nest and Word Art Wednesday Anything goes Challenge #151.

HAPPY FIRST ANNIVERSARY CINDY & TIM!

This is an album I made for my step nephew and his bride of their wedding day.  I finally sent it to them as they celebrated their first anniversary.  I forgot to take photos or to blog it but Cindy posted the photos on Facebook so I wanted to share them here.  I struggle with anything smaller than 12x12 and this was probably about 5"x7" mini accordian book.  I remember struggling with the page edges so I dipped them in glue and gold glitter.  

Here we go - 

The Cover-

I had picked out a lot of different wedding embellishments and you will see several quotes throughout.  The photo of them is from the invitation.

This is the wedding party making their entrance.  The photo on the right includes my Step Brother Jeff who was the best man and the cute little tot with him and the Maid of Honor is Cindy & Tim's cute little son Elijah.

The flower girls are Tim's niece Kaitlyn and Cindy's daughter Nicole.  And finally - here comes the beautiful Bride with her Dad.

On the left is a copy of the cover of their ceremony program and on the right a photo saying their vows.

Here are the rings!

These pages were the front side of the book...Hopefully she will share the flip side so I can show you the rest!  Watch for another post coming soon!

I have shared these with Robin's Scrap Nest and I am also posting to Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes challenge #151.

Thanks for checking out my memories of this beautiful day!

A QUICK LITTLE POST

I am going to be busy working on a wedding present for the rest of the evening so I thought I would post my recent layout and the card for the wedding now.

The layout is for the Guest Designer Sketch over at Colorful Creations and the Button It Up challenge #137 on Party Time Tuesdays.  The buttons are the star flowers on the lower left.  I rotated the sketch 1/4 turn clockwise.  I used photos from my recent visit to Rockwood Mansion.

The Sketch:

My Layout:

Next up is my card for the wedding we are going to tomorrow.  I am entering it in the Anything Goes challenge #164 on Tuesday Throwdown, PPA171 Color Challenge on Pals Paper Arts, the New Beginnings challenge at Delightful Challenges, Challenge #286 Hip to be Square at Cute Card Thursday, the Weddings/Anniversaries challenge on Divas by Design and using sketch #69 from Feeling Sketchy.
