When my friend got married back in July, another friend of mine did her wedding photos. If you live in the Hampton Roads/Va Beach area and are looking for an amazing photographer please visit Donna's blog.
I wanted to share the link to my friend's wedding photos, because a lot of our crafty work is highlighted. My banner and guest book are there too!
Here's the link

Thanks for stopping by and checking out the long overdue photos.

Finished Wedding Guest Book & Banner
Hello my long lost friends (LOL),
I was able to spend a few hours on Saturday down in the scrap cave and I'm proud to say that it's done!! I did have an unfortunate incident with the hot glue gun and my thumb still hurts!! Here are some photos
I added the ribbon and some roped ribbon along the edges to tie in with that "beachy" feel. I really, really LOVE how this turned out. Once that was finished, I moved on to the banner that the bride requested. It didn't turn out quite the way I wanted, because for 3 weeks Michael's hasn't had the paper I needed. I improvised, but I'm not quite satisfied. (I did however sign up for the new Rewards program when I was there on Saturday!!) Please excuse my messy basement!
That's all for now. Check back soon for some more projects.

Almost done with Invitations
Happy President's Day,
I finally got the paper in to finish up the wedding invitations. It's been non-stop cutting and embossing all weekend (except for Saturday when I went to Harrisburg to celebrate my friend's daughter's birthday).
After I got all the cuttin and folding down, it was time to focus on the content of the invitations. In my house we are mostly Apple users (iPhone, iPad, iPod, and Mac Mini). We do use laptops with MS Windows on them for work. Originally, I made the inserts using MS Word and MS Publisher. Our wireless printer decided that it wasn't going to connect to my laptop to print. So I had to do it all over again on my Mac. I haven't really used it much since we bought it over a year ago, so I had to some googling to find a decent desktop publishing program to use. I decided on Swift Publisher for ease of use and cost.
Here is the final product:
I used the directions found here for the base of the invitation. I embossed the pocket with the Divine Swirls Cuttlebug folder. I also created a 1 1/2 inch band to put on the outside, which was also embossed. The monogram scalloped circles were cut at 2 1/4 inch (base and shadow), the letter "S" was cut from Classic Font. I believe it was cut at 1 1/4 inch.
I have about half of them complete. On to finish the rest!

Wedding Album
While working on my entry for Momo's challenge, I decided to make another page for the wedding album.
This is the right facing page of the bridal shower page I showed in my last post about the wedding album.
Here's a close up of the packages, cut from the Sweethearts cartridge. I blinged out the bows to stand out. I also used a fine felt tip maker to make the lines stand out a bit more. The larger package is cut at 2.5" and the smaller one is cut at 2". I popped up the larger one using 3D dots.
This is one of the journaling blocks that I got from Oriental Trading. I used a thin strip ATG tape to adhere it to the page.

Coral & Black Wedding Album
Hello everyone,
I just wanted to share the first couple of layouts that I've completed for the man-friend's BFF's wedding. They've been friends for almost 26 years!! He is going to be the best man at the wedding which is this April. When the friend announce the engagement, I said that making a wedding album would be an awesome gift for them. I was shh'd and told that I was crazy for thinking to hand make something for them.
About 3 weeks ago, I was asked to make them an album. Oh how I love that man of mine. I know the color on these pages looks red, but I promise you that it's more of a coral in person. I blame the bad lighting in my office. So here is what I've completed so far:
First Page:
Bridal Shower page:
I found these layouts over at Scrapbooks Etc.. I needed a little inspiration and found tons of ideas within the few pages of sketches that I viewed. I hope that you enjoy these layouts. I will try to post more as I get them done. I'm on a tight deadline for a procrastinator.
