Wedding layout

(click photo to see it bigger)

I wrote previously about my trip to Texas to attend my friend Dona’s wedding.  Of course, it was lovely.  Does anyone ever describe a wedding and NOT say that it was beautiful?    When I wrote the story about my friends, I included their photos and actually forgot to put the bride and groom’s photo with them, the whole reason FOR the story.  Go figure. 

My friend Edie is an amateur photographer and she’s fantastic (although she doesn’t believe that).  She took this photo, and it looks just like the wedding photographer’s shot.  It’s one of my favorite pictures from that day because it just has such a sweetness about it.  These two kids make such a CUTE couple!  Did I just call them kids?  Oh my gosh, I feel so old!

I wanted to keep this layout simple because I really wanted the focus to be on the photo.  I’ve got a LOT of Tinkering Ink inventory in my ebay store right now that isn’t selling, so I decided to use some of it up.  The brown embellished felt circle and the green felt bracket are “Finery” from the Botanical Bliss line.  (you can buy these in my Paypal store in the upper right corner of this blog)  First time I’ve used anything felt on a layout and loved these.  I also used KI Memories ice candy and Scrapworks Tailored Tabs.  Those ribbons are from Target in the $1 spot, except the brown/pink dotted; don’t know where that one is from because my friend Jill from California gave me a gigantic bag of ribbons.  Heck, she even hauled them all the way to Texas to give them to me!  She is so good to me and always shares her ribbons with me!  (thanks Jillie)  I’ll be doing more pages with journaling coming up, cause if you know me then you know I’m all about the journaling.  Check back soon.
