Bridal Shower Layouts

Hello my crafty friends!

It's been a while since I have done much 

scrapbooking.  I had a lot of other projects going

and just couldn't seem to get back to the scrapping.

But I have now and I've been working on 
Kelsie and Brad's wedding scrapbooks.
Yes, I know, they have been married for almost 

2 yrs now, but they will get done, sooner or later.
It took me about 2 yrs to get Jaryd and Sara's done too.

But I'm well on the way now.

I needed some way to put the shower cards into the

scrapbook, this is what I came up with.

I made 2 pockets on each page to put the cards into.
I'm very happy with how this layout turned out.

Here is how it looks with all the cards and inserts that

came with the gifts that arrived from Amazon.

This layout is of Kelsie getting ready for the shower.

Isn't she beautiful?

And one layout from the shower.

Kelsie and her bridal party with Brad.

I'll be posting more layouts in the future, but not all of them.

There are just too many to post them all.

Jaryd and Sara's ended up being 6 books and

I'm thinking Kelsie and Brad's will be just a many.

Thanks for stopping by today.

I hope you were inspired in some way.

Come again soon, 

until then,

Get your scrap on!

 

Gifts for the Bridal Party

Hello Everyone!

Today I'd like to show you the gifts that Kelsie gave the 
ladies in her bridal party.
I helped her with the tote bags and the cosmetic bags,
the rest she took care of. 

 

First we have Sara, she is my daughter in law, she
was the Matron of Honor.

Kelsie did the designing for the bags and I did the cutting
weeding and pressing.  I used HTV in both regular and metallic.

The date of the wedding was on the back of each tote.

Inside, Kelsie went all out for her girls.
The champagne flute and the mug she got from
someone on Etsy.  The picture at the top of each 
different girls "post" is what was on the mug.

They each received a necklace, a bracelet with
their astrological sign and earrings.
There were actually more earrings for them to choose
from.  All the jewelry was in rose gold,
which was one of their wedding colors and the 
color of her rings.

This is Amanda, she has been besties with Kelsie
for 15 yrs and is my #2 daughter.
She was the Maid of honor.

Here are her bags,

and her gifts.

This is Colleen, she was her 
Friend of Honor.  Colleen is her other bestie.

Colleen's bags,
 
and her gifts.
The ladies all loved their gifts and I loved being able
to help make them extra special.

Thanks for stopping in today,
I hope you'll come again soon.
Until then,
make someone's day special.

Practice Hair

Practice hair,

Have you heard of it?

Today's layout is about going for "practice hair"

Most of the girls had never had the hair stylist that

Sara uses to have their hair done.

So one day we all went to have April do their hair,

and see if they liked what she did.

Here are the 4 girls from the wedding party,

with their hair done.

For each girl I wanted to do something a little different

for their pictures and layout.

Bride

Sara had a practice session too, since she doesn't 

wear her hair up, ever!

Her background piece is made using alcohol inks

on silver card stock.

The embellishment along the sides, I designed

and cut with my Silhouette.

Her sister, Maid of Honor

This background was made with alcohol inks on

deli paper. the border and the heart embellishment,

were cut on my Silhouette.
And that layout isn't as crooked as it looks,

sorry about the bad picture.

My daughter

Best Lady

For this background I used some embossed paper.

I used an ink blending too to add Distress Ink 

to the raised areas.  I cut out some of the flowers

from the inked paper as embellishments.

Bridesmaid

This background is 2 different papers that I cut into

strips and then wove together.

For the embellishments I cut the vines, leaves and flowers

with my Silhouette to mimic the flowers in her hair.

Bridesmaid

And finally, one of my favorite techniques.

I stamped and heat embossed with clear embossing powder,

then used Distress Ink to ink over the embossing.

Buffing with a clean cloth helps remove any ink on

the embossed areas, so they show up nice and white.

I cut pieces from the same pattern to 

use for embellishments.

I'm very happy with how these layouts turned out.

I had a lot of fun doing the different techniques for 

each layout.

I hope you've enjoyed these layouts and are inspired in

some way to try something new and different.

Thanks for coming by and spending time here.

Come again soon!

Until next time,

Think Outside the Box!
