A few weeks ago we were privileged to be a part of a wonderful wedding day. I made a wedding scrapbook for the bride and groom, which I am pleased to report they loved! I used a Kraft album from Paperchase and I found the pages much thinner than when I used a similar book from them before. I glued two pages together for each page and used lots of Herma - the whole book used 5 rolls (I'm glad I found some on sale recently).I used quite limited materials so that there was continuity through the book. I had five or six pieces of patterned paper, some white Basic Grey rub-ons, Maya Road Kraft Doilies and a couple of sheets of 7gypsies wedding themed stickers.
When I make a wedding scrapbook I try to journal all the things from the day I wish had been documented at my own wedding. I write out all the songs and readings, photograph the flowers and the venues, I include some confetti thrown on the day, and I write out a guest list. Through the wonders of Facebook and Photobox I was able to access some photos from friends and family, so these photos aren't all mine (but most are).
(I claim responsibility for these two pretty girls!)
Gorgeous mini book.

What a lovely gift to give to the bride and groom! I a doing my own wedding album and hadn't thought to write about the hymns and guest list but will definitely now - thanks for the inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteOh My -that's fantastic-I bet the happy couple love it!
ReplyDeleteWow! Love it! Interesting tip about the Paperchase craft books being thinner paper! 5 rolls of tape, goodness! Lovely personal album which says much more than the 'professionals' stuffy style.
