I thought I would share the second portion of some of the scrapbook pages created for my sister’s wedding album. Here are a few of my other favorites.

{Cake & Cupcakes}

She made her own cake and all the cupcakes. Using my Cricut I cut oversized letters to add something more to this page.

{Unity Candle}

I would have to say this is one of my favorite pages because of the different colors and patterns used. I also stamped the flower shown in the  upper left corner and used a red marker to outline it, creating a similar flower to the pattern on some of the paper used.

{Black and White}

I love black and white pictures. It creates a sharp, classy look. I also incorporated grey patterned paper for this layout.

A few years ago my grandparents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. While editing pictures for a slideshow for their party I really enjoyed seeing all the places they have traveled, memories they have in pictures (and not to mention the changing over the years with hairstyle and fashion). I decided it would be fun to start a yearly tradition with my husband to create a 2 page layout that recapped the year of marriage we just celebrated. And yes – he agreed he would help!

The main purpose of this book is to have memories in 50 years to look back on and see where we have been, what we all have done and of course for me the different hairstyles and fashion. The way we go about this each year is that I chose the pictures and get them printed in time our anniversary week rolls around and then my husband helps chose the paper we will use. It’s the one time I’m not specific about layout because I’m really happy he has decided to scrapbook with me one time a year. In the end I adhere all the photos and clue the pictures down, write the captions and put the pages in our book. It’s a wonderful way to say ” I love you” without needing a gift.

I still need to do the journal part of this, as well as little fun facts or things we learned throughout the year but here’s our (almost completed) page:

My sister is getting married this spring and for her bachelorette party she wanted a glamorous black and white theme to her evening.

So, from the invites, the decorations & the menu I kept things simple but glamorous.

I used basic black and white cardstock to print the invite on and place  ribbon with a white damask pattern on the outside for the invites.

Cutting a flower pattern out of tissue paper I made about 3 dozen paper flowers. I placed them in vases that I wrapped with either wrapping paper or left over ribbon from the invites.

I kept with the damask  theme to create the menu cards for each place setting.

The room itself was already white so I tried to incorporate as many decorations as I could, but really as much black because the walls were white. Many of the decorations came from the dollar store and the fabric came from a thrift store, making everything look nice and also saving me money.
