Love is All You Need

Recently, I was blessed to attend Amanda and James' Wedding .

I've known Amanda for a little under 20 yrs ,

and have been lucky enough to see her blossom into a

 beautiful, intelligent, confident , passionate, conscious young woman.

Now i know all brides are beautiful on their special day ,

 but Amanda was utterly breathtaking,

 and now i have some images of the day to play with.

Music played an important part throughout the day -

 James serenaded Amanda during the service,with an original piece he had written for her ,

 He also played at the reception,

 The cake had a musical theme.... i could go on and on...

So of course, a musical title was called for :)

but back to this gorgeous bride..

In the not to distant future,

I'm imagining her being handed a full scrapped album of her special wedding day ,

after i finish with these all these gorgeous images .

 Check out the detail on this black mass of rad mess. 

I found this placemat at Target (Australia), 

actually Paul found it when we were out and said it would be "cool to scrap on".

But i found a better use for it.

A bargin for only $3

when ya just have to scrap

After completing Emily's 21st album ,

 I've been flat out with work commitments for the last 7 days,

 during that time i just had to create something for me .

even if its only a 30 minute layout..

it still refreshed my creative spirit..

i especially loved drip painting with a little house paint .♥

3 days ,2 evenings and a deadline

3 weeks ago I received  a commission , and a deadline..

Hmmmm, so many other deadlines, working and photographic commitments,

and time just got away from me .

So on Monday morning I sat down at the table and started creating 

a tribute album for Emily who turned 21 this week.

tonight is her party

 and today I had great joy handing over this gorgeous piece of lovingly made

SCRAP ART to her Beautiful Mumma Tricia .

There are a pile of PL pages in the back with photos of friends and words of love from them.

I hope Emily loves colour.
