Wedding Gift

I have been wanting for some time to do a mini album.  What better theme than a wedding album.  I live in the most amazing neighborhood.  We have wonderful neighbors that we can honestly call friends.  This mini album is for 2 of our neighbors.  My oldest daughter is also an amazing self taught photographer and took some fabulous engagement shots that I thought I could incorporate into a gift for the newlyweds.  The wedding is this Saturday and this is their gift.  I have used some papers from a kit from Close to my Heart.  I have been hoarding these papers.  I also used these papers to make a Blessings Box for the reception.  I will share that later as my daughter took it down to show the bride to make sure she likes it.

And then I have left several pages for the new couple to add some pictures of the wedding.

This was a lot of fun and of course a lot of time.  I really hope they enjoy it. 

Now that birdcage is from Tim Holtz and yup I ran it through my Cuttlebug with 2 B plates.  The bling is from recollections and there is some Making Memories metal tags and some charms from my stash. There are some dollar spot stamps, and one from AmyR from All That Scraps.  Some lace and a few flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.  As well as a Magnolia tag.  I am sure I have probably missed some of my stash!

Now, to add this to some challenges.

Use it Tuesday wants us to use a die cut we haven't used before. I used the bird cage and the tag for the first time. But I will be using both of these a lot. Love them both!!

The Cheerful Stamp Pad is themed things with wings.  I hope the bird on the front cover qualifies.
