Scrapbooking Layouts Series: The Big Day

Using layout #2 from the Scrapbooking Layouts series, ‘The Big Day’ shows several small photographs of the bride’s preparations on her wedding morning.

.

The photographs were converted to black and white, but color was kept for the red rose. With so many photos this was going to be a busy layout, so I kept the color scheme simple.

 

Two things to be reconsidered:

• the colored rose may have been better in the middle
• the title would have been better for being embossed

 

 

 

I used these products:

• Paper from the Colossal pack by Papermania
• ‘big day’ stamp from Papermania
• X-cut’s tag punch
• Buttons from Papermania
• die cut flowers
• tiny little gems - sorry no identification on pack

 

 

 

The journaling reads:

The wedding MORNING …

• you ate enough at breakfast for you AND Dan, while he, poor guy, hadn’t eaten a thing since Thursday!
• one hairdresser for four ladies is not enough!
• so glad we had connecting rooms at the hotel - we needed the space
• tension rose for me during the last hour with my hair and makeup still not done
• you were so calm

 

• after all the build-up it was suddenly time to leave & Dad & I were rushing to finish dressing
• ‘as a bride prepared for her bridegroom’ took on new meaning when I saw you
• I said, ‘You look stunning!’ You said, ‘I’m supposed to!’ And grinned!
• I was in a right tizz by the time we got to church – so much for elegance and calm
• fortunately you did that beautifully!

 

 

When you’re running out of ideas, scrapbook templates are just what you need. Thanks for the idea.
