Vegas Wedding Album

Favorite youngest son eloped to Vegas which was of course, 
a surprise.
Anyway, I picked this album up because it was on sale and
carried it around for a few years 
until now.
That heart came with it, and it's so cool that gold 
glitter paper sold works so well with it.
Deploying some Tim Holtz and/or Sissix stuff that
quite frankly, needed to be used for the
opening page.
I'm really not a fan of putting together layered dies
but I do love the results.

Since we've been camped in the boonies for awhile
I decided I really needed to get creative
with what I had and I have a lot
of really old patterned papers.

And that involved a few die cuts and some stamps.

So because I seriously needed a challenge 🥸I 
picked up some 2x2 page protectors so
now they needed to be filled
and it honestly turned out great 
to get a lot of pictures in.
I did create the journaling papers with 
TH oxides.

However, halfway through I figured out I didn't
have journaling spots planned.

Then I had to get over putting SOMETHING on every page.
That you'll begin to see after you scroll past these pages. 🤣

However, in trying to come up with really cool sayings
and things was 
to add in the journaling squares 😊.

Starting here.
And then because I was running out of photos
but I do love a good filler page 
because you can really get creative with
more layered flowers.
It figures I have quite a few of them 🤣

Love these 2 photos.

Made them a litte 3D.

Or they can add pictures and emphemera.


So okay this one below was the last page I first came up with
and I wanted it to be a bag to tuck in 
tags for journaling.
But I had doubts and sent a pix to my pal
Holli and she told me like it is.
It just doesn't go.
But that window frame I love (and would you believe I lost the inside
frame die cute. How you might ask. No. clue. 
But it did show up today stuck in my Big shot. LOL.
I was bummed I really love that die.
So the envelop isn't working.
Therefore....

I remembered this is Vegas baby and designed
my own envelope. 
Of course with die cuts and just added
the initial B. 
Love it!

We are back on the road again


Actually we've been out since April and found that April is really to early to go north. 
Howover, we valiantly we fought the cold but not without
alot of whining and complaining. 

I love taking roadside pictures and there are so many cool structures
on the side of the highway. Especially this one in South Dakato
which is a beautiful state BTW.
After catching the first picture which was fun in all of itself
being a skeltonasaurus and all, 
but the second scene is even funnier to me.
Looks like he's menacing and headed to attack this
poor unsuspecting church that I didn't notice before now.
Skeltonasaurus doesn't stand a chance.
