Bride and Groom Card!

Happy Saturday everyone! Hope you're all having a great weekend! I created this Wedding card today using my Cricut and the Stretch Your Imagination Cartridge. I cut the bride and groom several times. First I cut the blackout feature using beige cardstock. Then I cut using the layers feature in Metallic-y grey for the groom's tux and again in the cool beige metallic-y swirl paper (FAB clearance find at AC Moore!!!) for the bride's dress. Lastly, I cut the sillouette feature in black. My cuts were done at 5 1/2 inches. The card background paper is the same beige swirly paper I picked up at AC Moore and then covered (loosely) with shimmer vellum. The ivory heart ribbon in the middle is from JoAnn Fabrics and is topped with a thin piece of ivory ribbon which is also what I made my Groom's bowtie out of! :) I added mini rhinestones (these are actually the kind you use for fingernail art but I thought they'd be more useful on my cards! lol) I also added one to the Bride's left hand to serve as her engagement ring! I used pop dots to add dimension, added Opal flowers to the bottom of the card and Luster Baubles (LOVE them!! lol) in "Ice" to the top to finish the card off. Sorry for the quick post today but I have to get to bed as I have a very looong day tomorrow and it's already 1:23am! YIKES! Good night all!

This picture shows the metallic-y papers better than the previous pictures.

Challenges I have entered this project into:

• Polka Doodles -- "Wedding"
• Penny's Paper-Crafty -- "Anything Goes"

A few Scrapbook Pages from the Past...

My FibroFriend Vicky asked if I would post some of my Scrapbook pages. I will have to work on getting some updated pics this weekend but here I've posted some older pages I just happen to have pictures of already! Enjoy!
This was a really fun day! I took my GodDaughter, Kaitlyn and my Great Nephew Mason (best buds btw) to CT's Beardsley Zoo. Mason was a little young but Kaitlyn had a blast! One of my favorite days still! I need to get an updated pic of this first page as it's actually journaled now! lol My favorite part of this page is that the map is attached to the outside of the page protector so you can actually fold it out and look at the map of the zoo!

I love this layout because I LOVE B&W pics! This is my nephew Stephen and his date Abby (and friends) at their Junior Prom. I loved that Abby wore a red dress and it was a great color scheme to scrap! I love using black pages and metallic accents!

Sorry this pic is so blurry! The boys are Mason (my Great Nephew) and Davey (my cousin's son) who are exactly 30 days apart! I just loved this layout because I love the border of trucks and the amount of pictures on the page is almost like a little movie of the boys playing. (smile)

The rest of the layouts I have for you are from my college roommate's bridal shower and wedding! The layout above and below are from her shower. I try to use the actual invitations, napkins, favors, etc. from any event if at all possible. So both Mechelle's bridal shower invites and her wedding invites were used in these layouts.

The invitation on this one is adhered to the outside of the page protector so the "reader" can flip it open and read the details!

I used the wedding ceremony program in this layout.

It's been a look down memory lane as these layouts came from 2006! I will have to update soon with some newer layouts...of course, I'm so far behind, I'm not finished with my 2007 album yet!! (smile) I chose to make yearly albums with some special smaller albums thrown in (ie: Disney or other fun events that deserve their own books!) Some people make an album for each child, some make an album for each catagory (Vacation, Christmas, Birthdays, etc.). That's what I love so much about crafting! There are no mistakes, just variations! ;)
