Wedding Scrapbook: Kauai Condo Layout

Switching islands!  I made this layout to show where we stayed during the second part of our honeymoon.

I did something similar to my wedding reception layouts – squares and rectangles.  The big photo at the bottom?  It’s not a photo – it’s a postcard!  The text I cut with the Silhouette is pearlish, hard to see in the picture but it looks really nice in person.

I jazzed up the left side with some patterned paper and some matching turquoise shimmer.  I like how it adds some interest to the page without taking it over.

Wedding Scrapbook: Volcano National Park Layout

Here’s how the page with the map ended up!  So very much going on!

The text of the headline matches that of my earlier Volcano Village scrapbook layout.  I think I’m going to use a similar feel for the rest of the honeymoon.  I put a lot of text below that – it was quite an adventure.

To the right of the map, I added pictures from the park with vertical captions.

I left the map itself whole and then glued more pictures to the map – you see them when you flip the map up.

I’m not sure how often anyone will actually open the map all the way, but it’s pretty cool!

I’m generally pleased with it – glad to be done fighting the map until the next one comes along.

Wedding Scrapbook: Volcano Village Layout

I’ll be honest – this isn’t my favorite layout.  But it’s done and I’m hoping the other layouts will compliment it.

We spent the first part of our honeymoon at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and this page shows where we stayed and other bits and pieces not associated with the actual park.

It was really important that I incorporated the Polaroid (how often do we see those anymore?) that was taken of us the first night of our honeymoon.  I added the ticket from dinner that night just underneath, plus the business card of a lovely place that I want to make sure and remember.

I promise that the next honeymoon layouts will be infinitely more exciting than this one!

Wedding Scrapbook: Off to Hawaii Layout

Woooo!  The first real honeymoon page!

This page is an overview of sorts and captures bits from our entire trip.  It shows one of my favorite techniques: knitting photos and keepsakes together cohesively.

The photos and keepsakes are all cut the same size.  I used the airline boarding passes as a base to determine the size of everything else.  I made the airline itinerary double the size of the other boxes and it fits in really nicely.  It shows the dates we visited each island so I don’t need to write it elsewhere.

At the bottom, I added a headline out of shimmer stock and then cut a set of Hawaiian islands with the Silhouette.

What do you guys think of this new post layout?  I’m experimenting with having all the photos together and the text at the end of the post instead of photos with tiny paragraphs mixed in.  I think it’s easier to read.

Honeymoon Scrapbook Papers

I’m on to the Honeymoon part of the Wedding Scrapbook which means . . . a totally new color scheme!

The plan: use mostly blue, grey, and green* shimmer cardstock and accent it a tiny bit with patterned paper.  We honeymooned in Hawaii so most of the pictures are water and awesome scenery.

I went down to my local scrapbook store and picked up some papers in bluish-green.

I’m going to keep these layouts pretty simple, mostly because I want them done.  Getting to work with a new color scheme is at least a shot in the arm since I’ve been working on this project for so long.

Onward!

*Am I the only one who thinks of Sarah, Plain and Tall when I think of the colors blue, grey, and green?

Wedding Scrapbook: Honeymoon Division Page

I told you it wasn’t over yet.

When I started this wedding scrapbook, I wanted it to encompass everything, not just the wedding.  It would have felt weird to put our honeymoon in a regular scrapbook separate from the wedding.

So press on we will!

This page is the exact same designs as my earlier Engagement Division Page and Wedding Division Page.

I chose pictures evenly from throughout the trip.

I cut a ginormous headline out of silver shimmer stock with the Silhouette.

I still love this design and am glad I chose to divide the book this way!

Wedding Scrapbook: Guests & Afterparty

Kind of an afterthought page?  Sorta?  Yeah, it is.

I was looking at Kelley’s wedding scrapbook and saw that she listed all her guests’ names.  Omg, why didn’t I think of that before?  Then it dawned on me:  I have a wide format printer.  Waaaa?  I thought I didn’t need a wide format printer.

At this point I realized that I can print directly on my 11×14″ scrapbook pages.  Truly a revelation.  I guess the wide format thing will work for me after all.

Down the left side of the page, I printed everyone who attended our wedding.

After that, when I was cleaning out my leftover wedding stuff (more on that later), I found one of our blank thank-you notes.  There was just enough space below the text, so I stuck it there.

Lastly, I had this handful of pictures from after the wedding when a bunch of us went for a drink and a bite to eat.  I printed them as a photostrip and added them to the page.

So that’s done.  At least for the wedding part.  If you think the wedding scrapbook is finished, think again.  There’s much more to come!

Wedding Scrapbook: the Getaway

This isn’t really the end.  It’s the end of this section.  The getaway picture really gives me an “end” feeling though!

I’m ending the wedding with something very simple.  I’ve been planning to use this exact picture on a page by itself for years now!  Nothing fancy here – just the picture with a little dressing up.

I added a pink flourish on top.

Below the photo, in very small text, I added our name and the date.  Then I learned I shouldn’t try to cut letters that small out of really thick stock.  Noted.  It could also be that my Silhouette blade is getting dull with all I’ve been putting it through.

Just us – distraction free.  Love it!

Random Rambling:  Looking at the page, I realize my future kids will probably think it’s weird to see “two thousand six.”  Now that we are in the next decade, I feel like everyone has gotten used to “twenty twelve” instead of “two thousand twelve.”  Still, for the first decade of the millennium, it was “two thousand —” and that’s how I still think of it.  Pretty weirdo and neat at the same time!

Wedding Scrapbook: Celebrate Layout

I’m winding down the wedding reception!  This page captures pictures that didn’t have a place on other pages.

Returning to my love of squares, this layout is inspired by this pin on Pinterest.  The original image isn’t publicly available or else I’d link the original source.

I expanded the look by adding an additional row of smaller squares.  The larger squares are about 4 inches and the smaller ones just shy of 2 inches.

The squares are glued to pearl shimmer stock, then onto silver shimmer stock, then the whole lot onto some patterned paper.

Up in the corner, I added a small headline and a pink flourish.

I was able to get every last picture that I wanted from the reception onto this page!

Wedding Scrapbook: Bouquet & Garter Toss

Phew.  Getting close to the end people.  For this section at least.  I’ll be honest – at this point I really just want to get this thing finished!

The best way for me to get this done is to not over think or make it complicated.  For this page, I picked the best five pictures, sized them identically, and arranged them in a vertical row.

I glued the pictures down onto patterned paper and left a large border around the edges.

I cut the headline and flourish with the Silhouette and then pasted the text on top of the flourish.

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming . . .
