The Rest of the Story…

Today I have decided to post the rest of the book I have made for my parents’ anniversary.  Life is so crazy right now with graduations, birthdays and weddings that I have become very overwhelmed!  I apologize for not updating my blog but hopefully you will be inspired by todays post for a few days!!!  If you have any questions about any of the pages, just let me know!  Thanks and God Bless!

 

These are some pages for various vacations that they have taken.

This title is a free cut file from SVGCuts.com

 

 

 

The next two double page layouts are for their babies.

 

I did a double page layout for each season.  I knew there would be various pictures my mom would want to scrapbook that wouldn’t fall into traditional categories so I created these pages.

 

The next group of layouts are for Christmas. 

This is a double page layout for Halloween!

Here is a double page layout for the dogs!

So!  What do you think!  I can’t wait to give the album to them!  I hope I have inspired you!  Now, go create for someone you love!!!

Our Years in Texas Layout

Today’s layout is cut with MTC. 

On several of the layouts there are hidden journaling tags.  I cut all of the tags exactly the same so that my mom could put them where ever she needed. 

I love this simple star brads from Making Memories!  They added the perfect touch to this layout! 

Bless this Nest Layout

This is for a picture of parent’s first apartment….

 

Items used…

Sweethearts for all cuts

Bricks Cuttlebug folder for the nest

Random glitter pens and ribbon from my stash

Imagine stock image colored with a pattern from Blossom

Martha Stewart punch for journaling block

Here’s a close up of the birds, I just love this cut!  It is one of my favorites from all the cartridges…

Enjoy and God Bless!

The Wedding Layout

 

Today’s post is of the double-page layout I made for my parent’s wedding day.  I used the Sweethearts cartridge for all the die cuts.  I used MS Word to create the title and the journaling block.

My dad wore a gold, patterned tux!  I guess that was the style!  I used the Devine Swirls Cuttlebug embossing folder and some gold embossing powder to give it a more realistic look.  The background for the “Mr. & Mrs.” is cut with an Imagine stock image and colored using the Best Friends cartridge.  The cake is also embossed with the Swiss Dots folder.  All bling is Stickles!  Enjoy and be inspired!

“Marry Me” Layout

 

This layout was made using the Sweethearts cartridge.  The title was cut and colored with the Imagine, using the Best Friends cartridge for the yellow pattern and the phrase from Sweethearts.  Here’s a close up of the couple…

I adhered a jewel to the ring to give it some real-life bling!!!  Take care and God Bless!

“Puppy Love” Layout

Whenever I was little and my mom would tell me about how she met my dad and how they came to be a couple, she always used the words “Puppy Love”.  I only thought it was appropriate to use this as the title for the dating years layout! 

All cuts are from the Sweetheart cartridge. 

I love this little puppy!  Her patch is flocked and Glossy Affects were used on her nose and tongue.  Isn’t she so cute?  I used the Gypsy/Imagine update to flood fill the images and print and cut with the Imagine.  This update is great, not as good as it could be, but it’s still great!

Okay, can I just say, I love this cut too from Sweethearts?  I don’t think there is one cut on the Sweethearts cartridge that I don’t love!   I pop-dotted the balloons and stickled and used embroidery floss for the strings.  The ribbon is from my stash, I’m pretty sure it is from Hobby Lobby.
