Picture of my first attempt at my wedding scrapbook!

Ahhh - I'm newly addicted to this craft but it's a little overwhelming and frustrating at first!

I re-arranged this layout all afternoon, and I'm still unsure of everything so this has yet to be glued down! LOL I even used photo corners so that I don't ruin my proofs.

This is my first page for my wedding scrapbook. It's our e-pic, along with our 2 STD magnets.

The wording on top is part of a lyric that says 'From here to eternity, I'm asking you to share your life with me. Now and forever I guarantee, I'll always be by your side.'
Then below 'Save the Date, Saturday, October 5, 2002'

The charm is a ring box with diamond e ring inside - it's supposed to be a wine charm.

really? are you guys serious? Thanks :) I wasn't sure how I felt about it! LOL I didn't originally choose the red, but since my sweater in the pic is bright, this background looked best. When patterned vellum is used it creates such a beautiful look.

ok, maybe tomorrow I'll actually glue it all down!

Teri-do you use removable glue? I use hermafix removable, it holds realy tight but you can lift it to adjust if you want.
I think the color red is amazing on that page!
Here's our E-pic pages


don't mind my poor photography skills.

I was watching Carol Duval on Saturday afternoon and she had a special show all about the HIA show. That is the Hobbies Industry Association show. its a convention for all the people that make the products that we use for all crafts. Of course when the scrapbooking part came up I was glue to the tv...well she made a statement that blew my mind...the Scrapbook industry is a 2 BILLION dollar a year industry!!! I know that I have defiantly contributed to that!!

I just wish I could tap some of that wealth!! Hmmmmmmmmm....someday!

Very pretty Teri.

If you dont want to ruin your actual photos, you can have color photocopies made at Kinkos. Cheap and very good quality.

Richsbride - no fair! Yours are better than mine!!! LOL Well, I did only start this as of yesterday, and I need to head back to the store to buy some more supplies :)

Do you rubber stamp? I saw a few great layouts using stamps but I can't imagine mine coming out that clear. Whenever I stamped I could never get a clear letter.....

Stef - I thought about that, but wondered how well the photos would age after a few years?

I guess the color photocopies arent archival quality but I would be loathe to chop up my real photos unless I had a safe copy.

Lisa: I saw a rubber stamping mag this weekend and was blown away!! Some of that stuff is really fabulous - but it must cost a fortune b/c those stamps are really expensive!
