What was your inspiration?

My Mom and her beautiful dress on my wedding day inspired the colors and flower theme of this page. This is an 8x8 instead of a 12x12 because it is a gift for my Mom and 8x8 is easier to mail then 12x12.

What are you most proud of?

There are 4 photos in this layout but all the focus is on the main picture. The details I wanted to share are there, but not distracting. I used a mat to separate the busy background and bring the focus to the main picture. By punching the edges with star punches the mat almost fades into the background.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

It took me a year to find a sticker pack that went well with my theme. I could have used chip board letters but I'm so glad I waited and looked around. Taking the time to gather the right materials make a big difference.
