the envelope is made of vellum, as is the rosebud. The journaling slips into the envelope and I'll cut a slit into the page protector, and you'll slide it out to read it.

The "I Love You" is Martin's card to me, not an actual decoration.

I don't usually do pages w/ 1 picture only, especially 2 pages together with 1 picture only. But on the rare occasion it is appropriate. And it turned out cute.

Photos are from Dec. but the actual hand/foot prints are from April. I didn't have a close up photo of her feet from this time, so I used the Walmart photo editing and zoomed in/cropped out the excess and just got her feet.

I want this page to look... more special... more foofy... but I currently don't have the right bits & pcs. to finish it off. So I'll have to look around and try to find just the right something. That salmon type pink is hard to match.

Pages 142 & 143

I love these 2. Like the colors. The fuzzy brads...

Pages 140 & 141

I have had the pink print paper for way too many years! Finally found a way to use it that is not too obnoxious! My hubby loves these 2 pages, as does my Mom.

Pages 138 & 139

The vellum snowflakes are perfect for this page.

The day that we returned home, we invited my parents over and we opened our wedding gifts. This way we got some photos, Mom made the gift list for me and I got to see my parents.

I had a package of dimensional gifts, but ended up needing 2 more, so I made my own. Know which ones???

The final pages of honeymoon...
Used a totally simplistic style that is not really me anymore. I also used the map triangles that are from Creative Memory days, as well.

MOSAIC... UGH! What a horrid project! I bought these pre-printed pages before Martin and intended to use them for fall/autumn foliage photos, but these garden pictures fit the bill as well.

Your photos get cut into 1 inch squares, courtesy of a paper trimmer. So arranging each photo first, but then arranging each square... Deciding which photos to leave whole, which ones to allow to overlap pages... Figuring out how to use the pictures with people...

Now, the real story:

I had 2/3 of these pages cut and laid out. I didn't have enough pictures printed to fill the whole thing and had to send a few more to the one hour printer. My hubby did not go and pick them up that day, or the next and in the mean time, the stupid cat decided to play on my desk!!! Jessika had messed up both pages! some pcs. were just scooted over while others were a total mess. Martin saw it and came to tell me. I said "just throw it away". But, he spent a long time working on it and got it all sorted. (thanks, Babe)

The next day, I went in to get something ( I had been scrappin' at the d.r. table) and THAT STUPID FREAKING CAT had done it AGAIN!!! I was so hot! But, I sat there and fixed it, yet again! Then, this time I covered them with a pc. of chipboard so she couldn't get to it, as we weren't picking the photos up that day either!

I finally got my pictures picked up, arranged, rearranged, and then the gluing down began. WHEW! So glad I don't make these as a normal layout! Love the end result, but the process was a huge pain!

Used the last 2 of that packet of trees. Martin added glue to the tips of each branch and glittered them to look like snow. It doesn't really show up in these pics. tho'.
