A couple recent wedding cards

 I just wanted to share these cards made recently for weddings.  

LM 522 - Photo Inspiration

 This week at Lasting Memories, we have a photo inspiration:

I created a layout using photos from a backyard wedding of close friends.  Because of Covid, their reception was rescheduled by the venue.  The church still allowed them to have the ceremony though.  My husband and I offered to host the reception in our yard.  It was small, just the bridal party, their spouses and the bride & groom's immediate family.

Supplies:

Patterned paper, chipboard, stickers by Maggie Holmes Heritage Collection

Letter stickers by Dear Lizzy

Pom pom frame by Maggie Holmes Willow Lane Collection

Calvinball Day 29 - Wedding Layout

I created another Calvinball layout.  This uses photos from a friend's wedding in November.

 

 

Supplies:

Patterned paper by Pink Paislee Auburn Lane Collection

Puffu stickers, ephemera, washi tape by Pink Paislee Auburn Lane Collection

Cake and car ephemera by The Paper Studio

Paper clips by American Crafts

February Stick it Down

Here's this month's sketch from Stick it Down, designed by yours truly.

With the heart in the sketch, I thought this would be perfect to scrap to a friend's wedding I attended in November.  We had a great time and took lots of photos, so I will be making a second double page layout soon.

Supplies:

All papers and ephemera by Heidi Swapp Honey & Spice Collection

Stampin Up Heart Punches
Letter Stickers by Thickers

LM 400 - Rub Ons

This month at Lasting Memories, our theme is Stash Busting.  This week, our challenge is to use rub-ons.

I had to dig pretty deep into my stash to find some rub ons.  As a rule, I generally don't buy them because I don't really like them.  However, I came across beautiful letter rub ons.  I forgot that I bought them in the dollar bin at Target.

I decided to scrap a photo from a wedding that my husband and I went to this year.  My husband's co-worker had his reception in one of the Boathouse Row houses in Philly, so that was cool.  It was a Cinco de Mayo themed wedding complete with taco bar and LOTS of margaritas.

This layout was a great excuse to use a bunch of cactus die cuts and ephemera that I had lying around.  I have never visited the desert, so I don't know when else I would have the opportunity to use them!

I am entering this layout in the CSI: Color Stories Inspiration challenge for this month.  I just love these colors!

A Bridal Shower Card

May Stick it Down Challenge

I absolutely LOVE the sketch at Stick it Down this month!  

I bought this beautiful CTMH Charlotte paper pack specifically to use with the photos from my little brother's wedding.  The colors were perfect.  We wore gray bridesmaid dresses and carried flowers in oranges and corals.

Lasting Memories: July GDT - Scrabble

At Lasting Memories Layout Challenges, the theme this month is childhood games.  This week's game is Scrabble.  Here's the inspiration photo:

I was inspired by the Scrabble tiles.  I was going through some of my "My Mind's Eye" collections and came across these "love" scrabble tiles and thought they were perfect.

I had photos from my husband's cousin's wedding from 2014.  It was one of the most fun weddings I have ever attended.  It was at a farm, so the ceremony was outdoors and it was beautiful!  We had so much fun in the outdoor photo booth (with a variety of colored doors for a backdrop).  I just love my husband's family - they're so much fun! The bride and bridal party did a choreographed dance to "Faith" by George Michael (a surprise for the groom - it's his favorite song!)

I had to include a photo of their wedding cake.  I have attended a ton of weddings, but this was my favorite cake EVER!  It was beautiful!  So many of their interests were on the cake, plus I love the cake topper, which was a clay version of them and their two dogs.  SO CUTE!
