The Start of Married Life

Firstly, a big hello and welcome to all my new followers! It seems like quite a few people were taken by my 300th blog post giveaway. I hope you also like my layouts too. :)

Yes, it's another wedding LO from me! We did get over 800 photos from our terrific photographer Daniel Sheehan so I expect to be scrapping these for a long time to come.  I like this photo where we are actually sitting in amoungst a whole bunch of fallen leaves. I finally got to use a whole strip of ribbon roses rather than just a single one!

The main inspiration for this layout is the current Lollipop Ladies challenge. #51 is strawberries and cream with layers. I think the pink/white inspiration is obvious and I've used a number of layers of paper and embelishments.

 

The pink/orange/white colour combo I used for the last Scrap Friends challenge worked so well with my wedding photos I decided to try again with their pink/cream/green theme this month. I really like the effect of the touches of green to just make the page pop.

Lastly, Scrapz.biz if having a scrapping Olympiad with 8 different sketch challenges during the length of the games. The first challenge focused on the Opening Ceremony. The extra requirements are: * Banners and/or confetti * The word START or BEGIN * Something that can be opened. I took a fair amount of liberty with the sketch but hopefully you can see how it inspired me. The banner and word 'start' should be obvious. I went with a key for my 'something that can be opened', as keys are needed for opening doors or locks.
