A few weeks ago I took engagement photos for a friend and her fiancé. It was stressful, but also quite fun! I got a few good ones out of the hour and a half, and she was happy, which is all that really counts!
As a gift, I decided to stick a few of her favorites into a minibook. I was going to use her wedding colors, but decided I would stick with fall colors since they were such a part of the photos. One of my (and her) favorite photos is this one :
I bought two ampersand stamps from Elise Blaha Cripe (along with a few other stamps from her store) and used circles and ampersands throughout the book. This was a bit of a challenge because there was no journaling. I don't know them as a couple all that well (I mostly just know Amber), so I didn't feel like I know enough about the two of them to journal, and Amber isn't a scrapbooker, so I didn't want to just leave some journaling spots (not sure that would be a "gift", if that makes sense). So I found some "love" quotes and printed those out for the other side of the page.

ReplyDeleteWowwwwwwwwwwwww!! This is GORGEOUS!! I love love love the photos and the papers you used!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo's...sweet idea for the book.
ReplyDeleteReally gorgeous book! I think my issue with 6X6 in the past has been feeling like I still needed to use a lot of stuff on it. I can see now that they look very pretty, clean, and classic with just a few well placed embellishments. Love the Hambly overlay. I was so bummed when he decided to retire and am now hording my stock. Thanks for sharing your book in Jennifer's livecast so we could check it out!
