Finished!
I was hired to make a scrapbook for a friend's wedding. The scrap book was to be used as the "guest book." Intimidated and a bit stressed about this book and doing a good job - I agonized over the designs, colors, style and content.
What came out of this was getting to know them better through their photos they left me to insert sporadically throughout the album and scrapbooking (which is something I haven't been able to do for a while).
The cover...... BTW - I made the album out of chipboard and bound it with my friend Sesil's (thank you!!!!) binder. I played with one of these at the Scrapbook Expo - but never acquired one. Now I feel as if I need to acquire one....
(for all the books I have yet to start much less finish......)
I made the first page of the book available for a picture of the couple on the wedding day.
The inside cover will have some sort of "quote" from their wedding.
Some had tags and some had tabs........
It's funny how pictures tell you alot about the couple. Mike and Jen are definitely in love with each other..... so refreshing to see these days....
But for all intent and purposes - the album is complete.
It was fun to do and rewarding when I saw how much they loved it.
I will get it back from them after their honeymoon. I am excited about finishing it - which is the most emotion I have felt about scrapbooking in a long time......

---- Jen and Mike ----
I just love her dress. She was breathtakingly beautiful at her wedding (which is what a bride should be).
The wedding itself was fun as well. A nice relaxing time well deserved after the creation of this album AND all the other things that go on in life.....
NOW THE ALBUM.....
NOW THE ALBUM.....

The idea - take a picture of the guests and then have them sign the book.....
Some had tags and some had tabs........
We went with Autumn colors and the majority of the pages were all unique styles and layouts.....
I hate repetitiveness......

There will be more fall embellishments......
but I wanted to wait til after the wedding to finish the final touches of embellishments....

Throughout the album are sporadically placed pictures of the couples or their "kids" (cats.)
I also left room for candids of the wedding........
It's funny how pictures tell you alot about the couple. Mike and Jen are definitely in love with each other..... so refreshing to see these days....
The center of the book has two whole pages dedicated to candids.
The ribbons have not been added. I have yards and yards of ribbons yet to add.
But for all intent and purposes - the album is complete.
