Wedding Reception layout

Here is the two pager together.. I didn't want to over do with embellishments, so I thought to just put the flowers and then the ivy hanging out of the flower pot.. cause thats what was in the picture..

Here is the title page.. I wanted to layer the title, but I made it so small using the DS, that it would have been really hard to get them all lined up..
plus, my fingers aren't small enough for all the glueing and piecing..LOL

close up of the lily flower that I cut using the paper doll dress up cart.. I first cut it in green and then in pink.. I inked the edges and then stickled it.

Wedding reception will be held at an Island just off of the coast of Helsinki, Finland.. I found some pictures of the restaurant on the internet this morning and wanted to incorporate some of that into this layout.

I got inspired yesterday and started working on the "I do" Layout for the wedding album. I didn't want to use Pink again, so I decided to use creams and blues.. I like the way it looks, a little rustic and old. I hope the Bride will like it as well!

• ring set bought at store-Jolees

Celebration evening LO

This will be a two page LO for the evening celebration. I used Accent Essentials for everything, except for the title, lace border, stamping, metal swirls and stickle..

the true color tones are very light blue, peach and tan, with a dark gray matting. the pics didn't come out as good as I had hoped..sorry about that.

Wedding Invitation Layout

I finally received the wedding invitation yesterday from the mother of the groom.. We are trying secretively to gather stuff that they are planning for the wedding so I can finish the album. Its supposed to be a big surprise for the bride, as well as the groom..

I cut the flowers using my cricut and george cart, title was used with Opposites Attract and the leaves using Accent Essentials. Stickled the leaves and flowers.

Terkkuja kaikille..

tässä hääkutsu sivu, nyt valmis.. salaa keräämme kaikkeja tietoja häistä. Haluamme että morsian on yllättynyt kun saa valmiin albuumin.

kiitos kun katsoitte.

Flower girl/morsiustyttö

Another Layout done for the wedding album I am working on. I spent 4 days making it. I have been working a lot this week, so I haven't had much time to work on the album.

I used the new cart I received (accent essentials) making the swirls, flowers and leaves. I also used George and Opposites attract for the title.. I stickled the name (Linnea- she is aged 4yrs old) so it would stand out more. I bought some butterflies from my neighborhood craft store and thought they would look nice on the layout.
The papers I used are very thin silk type and have a shiny surface, so they were kind of hard to work with.

I also made some swirls using pink colored wire and added some jade crystal brads for the centers of the flowers.. The picture makes it seem darker than it really is. These are all very soft pastel colors.. pink, green and cream.

hei Kaikille.

Tässä Layout minun kaverini hää albuumiin. Olen ollut paljon tällä viikolla töissä ja ei ole ollut paljon aikaa askarella. Käytin ohutta kiiltävää paperia (värit vaaleanpunainen, vaaleanvihreaä ja kerma) minkä ostin Sinellistä. kuviot (kukat, lehdet ja kiekurat) olen leikannut Provon Cricutilla. Perhoset ja vaaleanpunaisen vaijerin ostin Tiimarista. Kuvat ovat tummempia kun oikeasti, mutta pienestä kuvasta missä perhosia näkee oikeat värit..pehmeät!

Kiitos kun katsoitte. :D

5 Layouts done, only 15 more to go...

Here's the Bridal Layout for the wedding album I'm working on..

After working on this layout all week, I am FINALLY finished.
I hand made all the embellishments, except the corner pieces. The title was cut using the cricut.

Here's also a close up of the bouguet, dress and veil.

The matting for the photo is cut for a 5"X7" photo.

and then the finnish version.....

Ja sitten suomen kielen versio...

Hää albuumiin morsian sivu.. Kaikki koristeet ovat käsin tehtyjä paitsi kulma korut ovat ostettu Sinellistä. Tämän sivun koko on 30.5 x 30.5 ja kuvan paikka on leikattu 12.7 x 17.8 kokoiselle kuvalle.

Wedding layout-maid of honor

I really love this layout I made today. I hand pieced the dress and bouquet, the title is cut with the cricut using Opposites Attract cartridge. I did a lot shadowing and inking on the layout. Its deffinatley a girly layout. This will be for the maid-of-honor, which is "Kaaso"in finnish. I will be adding a tag on there for the bride to be able to journal all the important information, like the name of her maid of honor, the date, etc..

The colors appear a lot darker than they are.. I used very light creams and light pinks. most of the papers are silk papers, which were kind of difficult to work with. I did use stickle a lot to give it a little bit of a bling effect.

Groom and Best Man

Here is the two page LO completly finished. I like it! Im very happy with the end result, now I just hope my co-worker will be. I plan on showing this to her tomorrow.

the matting is only 4"x6" on the best man.

I know it looks black and white.. but, Its gray, blue , silver and metallic blue flowers.. the vest, tophat and tie's are black.

My first Wedding Layout.

This is the first wedding layout that I have done. A co-workers son is getting married this summer and she asked if I would be intersted in making an album for them. my answer was "Hell yeah, I'm interested!".. I was just doodling around last night and this morning to get a general idea of what I wanted. I haven't used stickle before, but I tried it for the first time on this LO, just for accent. I also bought some pink crystal embellishments and will be using those as well, cause I like the way they look..

It does look unfinished cause theirs no pictures yet, but all in all, Im very pleased. The colors in the photo aren't that clear, but its mostly mauve and light pink. I did use some pink paper from the Luxury stack by DCWV, pink vellum and some cream colored embossed papers I had purchased. OH!.. "RAKAS" means "loved one!" I wanted to make this all in finnish, so it would be personalised for the bride.. and my finnish is real rusty..
