Bombshell Glam

This is for the July Bombshell Sketch challenge.   I tried repeating the same scalloped circle, but it just didn't do it for me, so I used an alternate shape for the center image.   

 The rose ribbon trim is dusted with a bit of Ranger Distress ink using an artist sponge. 

Her dress is cut using MTC and my KNK Zing.  I cut one of the dresses from Bombshell Stamp's Bombshell Clothing file. 

When I saw the sketch, I saw it as a perfect opportunity to do a bit of a fancy fold

Album: Tropical Wedding

I was honored when some friends asked me to shoot their wedding.   I'm not a professional photographer, but sure do love to shoot and am lucky enough to get a few decent shots now and then.   This is my second wedding where I'm the official photographer, but I've paparazzi shot others of close friends and made them some albums.   My friends, Tim and Theresa, were kind enough to let me share their scans of the small gift album I made them on my blog.   Thank you Tim and Theresa.  I wish you all the best.  You're great for each other and it makes me happy to see you together.

The album size is 7x7 so 5x7 prints were perfect for quick pages that pop.  See the supply list at the end of this post for more product info.
