Wedding Album


As I promised my big sister yesterday here are pics of the wedding album I finished scrap booking yesterday. I haven't done scrap booking much lately, to busy with wedding things, so I really enjoyed doing this. Usually I'm a bit of an over decorator when it comes to scrapping, I put a lot of embellishments on, but I wanted the photo's to be the focus in this album so I have with held my urges and kept it very simple. Used the same paper for every page, a gorgeous butterfly embossed off white paper that was on special for 49cents instead of 99cents a sheet!
I started off with an album I bought in a set of three, the colour of which I did not like...



So I covered it in satin and added the flower I wore in hair....




The Kiss, my fav photo of the day...






Arriving at the wedding with my mother...



During the service...






The first kiss as Mr & Mrs Spinks. I wrote a little poem to on this page...




An emotional Spencer and us with the kids...


Our families....










The Men In Black...





This is the only page I haven't finished. In the album it is opposite to the above photo of the men in black, so I was hoping to think of a movie title to use on this page, but as yet have not come up with one. Any ideas very welcome.....







Our run away flower girl Samantha, she spent the whole ceremony running around the garden with her Aunty Karen chasing her....




My stunning mother...








I love this photo of me and mum, nearly brings me to tears when I look at it...











Cutting the wedding cake (or cup cake as Samantha called it)...











The reception room. This place blew me away, I nearly cried when I walked into this room after the ceremony....











The Honeymoon...






Wedding wishes from our wedding guests....

So that is it. I am very happy with the end result and love looking through the photos.

Thank You Aunty Diane

Hi all, just a quick post to show you all a dress little Miss Samantha got from her Aunty Diane when she came over for the wedding....

As you can see it is still a little bit big for her (what isn't!!), but it is a stunning dress! I love the colour. And Samantha loves dressing up in what she calls her "pretty dresses". Thank you Aunty xxxx


Also thought I'd show you a surprise parcel I got a week after the wedding. I entered a competition in a bride magazine and guess what... I WON!!!! I won 4 books....


There is one on cakes, one on flowers, a best man book and one called "500 Great Dates - Creative, fun and sexy ways to spend time together", I have to say I wish I had the flower book before the wedding but I am very happy to have won them any way. I am sure I will put them to good use in the future.
