Scrapbooking - Wedding Photos

The daughter of one of my best friends from high school got married last fall. I've created a scrapbook for her as a late(!) gift. All of the base cardstock used is from Best Creations - their Mr & Mrs line. It's all double-sided; one side is embossed and glittery; the other side is plain (but still nice). Everything coordinates nicely, and makes it easy to add any accent colors you wish. The bride's colors were eggplant, plum and silver. I could never find any plum paper that really worked, so I stuck with (SU!) Elegant Eggplant, Basic Black and Silver. I also used LOTS of bling on these pages (at least LOTS for me!) Most of the bling was added with the iRock tool, but some were Heidi Swapp self-adhesive jewels. And lots of Cricut cuts - several different cartridges. Hope you enjoy! More pictures can be seen on our Facebook page. Thanks for looking! Pat
