She Does!!!

Very late posting these layouts from nearly a year ago, especially since she's the same best friend below in the baby shower shots and the same best friend from our August vacation with the newborn. LOL. I did love them and wanted to share. They are so simple. Her colors were red and black so I picked that as the color theme for the layouts. I was going to go with simple silver accents, but when I saw the BLING letter stickers, they were just too perfect. So very HER!! =) The red matting on the middle layout is handmade paper so it has a 3D feel and reminds me a lot of rose petals.


I thought I'd throw in the bridal shower layout as well. I'm not IN the photos, but it went with this wedding and I loved it. I did pink and grey/silver for the pre-wedding celebration layouts. I loved the heart shaped jewels.

Comparing Sketches

I tried my hand and handwritten journaling here. I know they say you should do it on layouts because those that get your scrapbooks down the road will appreciate it, but I just hate the look of my handwriting. I tried writing it 4 times on paper first to get it right and I still am unhappy with it. I love the teal/lime color combo though. I followed the same sketch here as I did for the layout a few posts back of my step-mom and my son. Funny how different embellisments make the difference. Of course, I opted to not include the contrasting patterned paper because the above layout was plenty busy with the colors. I also left the set up the same even though one is 8 1/2 x 11 and the other is 11 x 8 1/2.

At the Car Wash

The kids had a blast washing my car so I pulled Daddy's car up and let them go to town on that too. I sat back and worked the camera. I didn't follow a sketch, but I did scraplift the layout from a friend's page that I absolutely loved. It amazes me how the layout is identical in set up, but are completely different looking. This was my first time just putting random flowers all over the layout as filler.
