So with this first wedding page (as there's an entire album left to do...yes, I got married in July 2009) I am not finished with my general 2009 portion of my scrapbook. I'm having this one wedding page go in the general book since it was kinda a big deal in 2009. It was also a great start to what I might do in my actual wedding album, or at least got to play with some of the elements I've been gathering for such a book.
I'm surprised to find that I used 4 different border punches on this page! I made that flower vine embellishment by painstakingly cutting each flower bud and gluing it on the green version and putting little pearls in the centers. I think it turned out pretty good, don't you think? And the little die cut embellishment people are from a very long ago eBay purchase before I owned things like a Silhouette. I probably would have bought it even if I did own it though because they were just too cute. They originally had blond hair, but I modified them to match DH and I. :)
DH approved of this page, for which I'm happy. He said the page turned out "in your usual scrapbook style with a wedding flair." I guess I can be happy with that assessment. So maybe there's hope yet that I can do my wedding album without all the worry of messing it up. (I'll admit, I've thought about what I want to go on these wedding pages for quite some time and am almost too intimidated to work on it!)
I hope you're not too tired of wedding photos...I bet more will be coming on this little blog...
Thanks for stopping by!

I see b&w photos! :) Anyhoo, fun page, the border was totally worth it! It's just perfect!
I know what you mean by being intimated by the wedding book. I have been collecting weddingish papers for the day I when I start that part of 2009. I really like the flower border and once I enlarged the page I could see the other borders in the back ground. The page fits the theme of your wedding perfectly. Those were some of my favorite pictures too. Great job.
this is so cute. love the lil die cut people and agree that customizing the hair color was a great idea. i can't believe you did those flowers...you're too patient but it was worth it! great LO.
