Last week my husband and I celebrated our 20th Anniversary - pretty exciting! We decided to commemorate it by spending the day at BYU - the college campus where we met and fell in love. We enjoyed a delightful day roaming the campus grounds, visiting our favorite places, and reminiscing - it was actually very romantic and fun. We enjoyed the perfect day and took this snapshot of us.
Supplies: Necessities - Metallics: Gold Confetti foiled vellum paper; Market Street - Ashbury Heights: Shimmer patterned paper, Shine patterned paper, flair pin, chipboard elements, decorative stickers, decorative tape; Market Street - Nob Hill: mixed bag, decorative brad, decorative sticker; Misc: White card stock, black ink, pen, and thread.
When I saw this photo, I immediately thought of the fabulous striped and foiled paper from the Market Street collection - the colors were perfect. I trimmed it down, rounded the corners, and used it as the basis of my layout. I used the horizontal lines to place and frame my "Happy Together" title and the "Perhaps it is our imperfections that make us so perfect for one another" chipboard quote pieces.
I layered a long piece of gold foil confetti vellum over the striped paper and blue paper to soften them. I adhered the vellum to the page with a strip of gold decorative tape (and a little double stick tape under the photo. I placed the black and gold "Celebrate" sticker along the bottom and placed the "This Day" flair pin over it to echo the circular motif of the vellum. I finished the page off the another sticker phrase "Always remember how much you are loved" and a chipboard "Snapshot of today" with a decorative brad.
I wrapped my journaling around the striped paper, starting at the black sticker, to draw your eye around the page.
