I thought that this layout deserved a post of it's own. I just loved this wedding picture of Grandma and Grandpa Nelson. Even better was when I was going through Mom's pictures and found a copy of their actual wedding invitation!!! I was thrilled. I couldn't bear to use the original invitation on the layout, so I scanned it in and printed it out via picture format.
Enough talking, here is the layout! OH, please don't mind the glare. I had a hell of a time getting pictures of these for some reason. If anyone has tips for taking pictures of layouts please share!!!
I took this last picture to show a close up of the textures and dimension of it. The brown paper with blue is actually flocked and soft! (It's old Heidi Grace paper.) I used some old lace that I had on hand to make the photo corners. Yes, that is an actual paper doily behind the picture, and I used Kaiser Kraft pearls as well. The Cardstock is Bazzil (I had none of my yummy dark brown American Crafts :() I cut out the title myself out of cardstock using my Quickutz Alphabets. The Flower on the first page is from Prima and is one of their new releases! LOVE IT!

Wow that is amazing. You are really talented.
that is absolutely gorgeous! Can you make a copy so I can hang it on my wall?
Thanks Jess and Ma. :)
Ma, I can try to make a copy for you. I might have a hard time finding the background paper. I can't remember if I bought only 2 sheets or if I bought 4. But I can definitely do something very similar.
What a beautiful layout. How cool that you had a copy of the invitation too!?!
To take photos of paper, etc without glare it's best to use natural, indirect light...so if you can, take photos by a big window (in the summer, outside). Partly cloudy days actually work a little better than bright sunny days, or just wait until an hour or two before the sun sets.
