Wedding Scraps

I thought I would share with you just a few of my favorite pages from our wedding scrapbooks. I finished all sixty-six pages while The Hubby was suffering through Ranger School and I was in dire need of having a craft to do during my wedding withdrawals. I would sit down and work eight hours at a time. After three days, they were finally complete. (Click pictures to enlarge)

My ingredients for a successful wedding scrapbook: 

• Some high quality pictures (Thanks, Hannah and Linda!)
• Sentimental objects (magazine clipping you showed your hairdresser, cupcake flags, invitations, receipts, napkins, notes, programs, signs, etc.)
• Colorful paper. Most wedding scrapbook kits stick with silvers, whites, blacks, and golds. I found that boring so I went with vibrant patterns from the Citrus Stack and other pages I had collected over the years.
• Use your good stuff. This is not the time to hold back.
• Use embellishments to fill in empty spaces such as stickers or Quote Stacks (Velum and Rub-on). Save money with Michael's 40% off coupons!
• Lay everything out before gluing anything down. Don't make anything permanent until you are completely certain.
• Print out quotes from your ceremony or wedding songs in the fonts you used for any paper goods from the big day.
