Scrapbook Time

I have all of my grandparent's original wedding photos. Their 60th Anniversary is tomorrow, so I recently scanned & printed out everything they had & put it into an album for them. Some of it is edited for the blog, but I tried to show as much of the layout details as possible. I try to use as much Creative Memories products as I can, since I feel that they are THE BEST, but I did pick up a few "cutesy" things at the scrapbook store, since I didn't have any CM products that were wedding or anniversary themed.

I retyped it on vellum & tied it into the album, so it would be easier to read. I still included the original too, but I bleeped it out because of the names:














This ribbon that I used was from a corsage my grandmother wore. I took it all apart & ironed it flat, to use it throughout the album. Here's the detail on those two pages:





































































































































































































I just got some more recent photos emailed to me, so I need to get them printed out & put into the album!
