Menai and Krishan........

Rhea's big sister Menai married her lovely fiancĂ© Krishan back in September, and I wanted to make a real keepsake card for them, so I created a book! The all-white palette makes it difficult to photo so please excuse the less than perfect photos! 
I created the book with loads of white textured pearlised cardstock and paper and numerous die-cuts and Cricut generated frames. I won't go into too much detail as the pages speak for themselves, but I chose a 'Love quotes from literature' theme, searching the Internet for suitable quotes and came up with some truly lovely quotes.
The picture above shows the cover of the book.....
 
                                    
 ....first page, details of the wedding.......
..then a quote from my favourite book, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte....

 ...The Bridge Across Forever by Richard Bach.....
 ...The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks.......
 ...Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte.....
 Anne's House Of Dreams by L.M. Montgomery.....
 ....Dr. Zhivago by Boris Pasternak.....
 ..and finally a sentiment....
 ...and a box to put it in!.....
....and finally, the happy couple themselves!
Phew!!!!!
Carts used:
All frames- Elegant Edges
Balloons- George
Initials- Sophisticated
Ivy leaves, hearts and flowers- various dies & punches
All quotes computer-generated onto pearlised paper
Thanks for sticking with me to the end!

Art Deco Anniversary.......


My brother and SIL celebrated their 13th Anniversary at the beginning of last month, and this is the card that I made for them. I used the Papermania Art Deco 'Roaring Twenties' toppers and foiled papers. The card base is an 8" square, layered up with black, silver and aqua papers. I embossed an Art Deco frame with an embossing folder, cutting out the centre to create an aperture. I adhered the dancing couple topper behind it with foam tape. I decorated the frame with gems from the same collection, a black marabou feather and greeny, silver bow. NICK & LISA and the number 13 were cut from black mirri card and silver glitter card, then adhered to the card with foam pads.
Cart used:
NICK, LISA & 13- Art Deco
