I thought going off to Vanuatu to get married extremely romantic, so I have tried to keep the basic theme going. But I tried to keep in mind that they are a bit older couple who have been living together for a while and didn't want the expense or stress of a big wedding with a million guests.
I found the papers in my local scrapbook shop and the cardstock is Bazzil (?sp).
the Cover - a small metal frame with a cutsie dimensional sticker in it.
The first page - I laminated a little map I downloaded.
Detail of the cross stitch palm tree - the slippers were also cross stitched. There is another tree later in the Album as well.
His Page - it needs something
Her Page - the shiny things are little rhinestones in a spiral with rays coming off them. I liked the effect it gave. But this also needs a little more.
A joint page. When you see the next picture, it demonstrates that the two individual photos open so that some journalling can be added.
The Wedding Ceremony page. I used stamps and cutouts to highlight it. The facing page also has the cutouts.
A dimensional paper frame for the Certificate.
The inside back cover has a holder for the disc with all the photos on it. I used two punches to make the hearts and ran them through the sticker machine. There are 16 pages in all back and front. Each page was started with a 1.25cm (0.5") margin so that I could use the Bind-it-All. The covers are chipboard. I glued a thin strip of paper over each outer edge, the used a sheet of the paper as the cover. Inside I glued a sheet of the card stock. I am hoping to maybe make a box for it.
I am pleased with the colours. I wasn't sure when I first saw them but DD suggested using the creamy yellow matts and lettering which has set it off nicely. I think I will look around for some gold or copper coloured metal embellishments and see how they will look. I felt it best not to get too arty farty with it.
At least it isn't Cheech and Chong ...
