Scrap Scrap!

I started working on our wedding album about 2 1/2 years ago... and I'm still not finished! At first I felt overwhelmed because there were so many pictures to choose from and I wanted it to look somewhat classy. I've now spent all that time gathering red papers and such, which is harder to find than one would think! The best time to find red is around Valentine's Day, because most of the wedding specific stuff is white or silver or gold. I've finally picked out enough papers that I can finish the album! I only have a few pages to go, so I pulled the album out this evening after a year of neglect. I still need to print a few more pictures, but I'm hoping to finish it this month! 

A few years ago my mom gave me a book by Becky Higgins called Sketches. It has helped me implement new page layouts so that all the pages don't look like repeats. The book gives examples of pages she has made, accompanied by sketches that make it easier to visualize with whatever photos you're working with. 

I've found cute embellishments all over the place the last few years, and have made a few of my own. I found velvet rickrack, brads with little pearls on them, red and silver glitter, fabric, and stamps. 

Here are a few pictures of what I've worked on tonight! 

I made this title by using a couple different pens in different tip sizes to write out the words, traced a few times, then went over it in some places with a bottle of red Stickles.

I made these little hearts because I felt like the page needed a little filling in!
