Come what may...



I loved the wordart that came with the Come what may kit and I finally got to finish a double page for my wedding album!

Journaling:
"Our Wedding Day went by in a blur. Everything seemed a whirlwind, even when we were waiting. It seemed so unreal that the Day was finally there. Just a year ago, who would have thought it would happen? Who but us did believe we were meant for each other? It really is true, as corny as it sounds: You just know if it is the right one, the person you want to spend the rest of your Life with. There is no test, no conditions, no list of attributes. Just the knowledge that yes, this is the one for me."

"During the Ceremony the registrar told us a story, about a mother and a daughter and the advice that the mother passed on about marriage. The mother had her daughter take two hands full of sand, and close on as hard as she could while cupping the other one. The hand that was clenched, lost all the sand, while the cupped one retained it."

"May you cherish these moments
For all of your life
As you step out together
As man and wife.
May the vows that you've taken
Remain true and strong
As you start on life's highway
And journey along."

Sleepy Head



I was babysitting little Ella and she had skipped her afternoon nap...

Text:
"Ella was so tired !
But she still managed to laugh, smile and be happy.
Sweet little girl... who then passed out on the couch "

Reenlistment



This LO is for the Reenlistment Ceremony of my Hubby.
It was a challenge because I am not overly patriotic... and German on top :)

The Word Art in Colleen's Kit seemed fitting, and I arranged the page around it. Everytime you make a decision like this, your life, your path changes.

Graduation Day



I resized the plopper so that it fit on a 8.5x11 page and then added the paper from Dramatic Flair to cover the empty space and blended the edges of the plopper.
For the picture, I used a mask to cover up the background outside of the frame, but not us.

Peekaboo Ella!



For this LO I used a picture of little Ella (my friends daughter), that I took while babysitting.
She was playing peekaboo behind the couch.

I used the stitched circle and the cardboard frame from the page kit to create the illusion of a red couch/love seat.
I recolored the stamp to frame the title and erased parts of the different elements to fit the page.

Green is Beautiful



I am having a really really hard time with white space layouts...
I am such a clutterer!
Also, I seem to be stuck on feet lately...
Airynne's green toes for this one!
