All dressed in white . . .

This week the challenge on Heart 2 Heart was anything wedding related.  This brought back so many memories!  One of the first full albums that I scrapbooked was my own wedding album.  I couldn't find any lose photos to use from my wedding so I used a layout from wedding dress shopping with my little sister a year an a half ago.  Color Q's challenge was to use this color pallet


So here is my layout of wedding dress shopping (I was four months pregnant) with my little sister, my 2 1/2 year old boy and my 1 1/2 year old boy.  That was a day to go down in the books, literally!

Materials Used: 
Canvas Badge Buttons (I stamped directly on the canvas - LOVE these)
Inks: Sand & Chocolate
Itty Bitty Brads & Medium Brown Brads

To make the flowers in the upper left hand corner I cut out 2" scallop circles (you can use the scallop punch), sprayed the paper with water, crumple the circles and folded accordion style.  Then I unfolded the circles, pinched them at the bottom and glued them to a piece of scrap card stock.  On top of the circles I placed a cranberry paper flower and attached with a medium brown brad.  I cut out the flower from the scrap paper once it dried and attached it to my layout.  Thanks for the challenge Heart 2 Heart & Color Q!  This was a fun one!
