Wedding Journal (long post!)

Posted on by

Question: What is in exactly six months????

RIGHT!! MY WEDDING!!! icon biggrin Wedding Journal (long post!)

So I promised, that I will show my Wedding Journal that I just started to make and yeah, here we go! Since I still don’t have any book rings, the pages are still loose. I planned to use four rings for this album.

Okay, this is the cover. I used a filefolder as a template on a Sassafras Lass Patterned Paper. The birdcage is from House of 3 and I used some 3D glue to give it some texture.

The idea of this album is, to use a filefolder per month and fill this with my plans, ideas and everything else about the wedding. So this is the first folder of the countdown. Once again I used some 3D glue on the little camera stamps.

The back of the same page…

And this is the back of the filefolder. As you can see, I cut about 2 inches of the folder, so I can use it better as an album. It also gets nicer to work with (the form). On this page I used an envelope and put a picture of the room into it. (And yes, here is my new ribbon!!! Love it!!)

I got a comment yesterday for my last post.

Phoenix: Your wedding decorations & plans sound beautiful! What colors are you going to use?

So I thought, I could answer that question with a little PhotoShop Graphic… By the way, thank you Phoenix for your comment icon biggrin Scrap Art Zine and Color Scheme

So, as you can see, the colors for our wedding will be PINK, WHITE AND BROWN/GREEN. The room we are in, is in a rustic brown. It was a horse stable a long time ago, that they renovated. The green color is…. Well, because it is in a botanical public garden and there are of course lots of plants icon wink Scrap Art Zine and Color Scheme

Adrian already asked me in shock, if that is my wedding dress I am gonna order: NO, for sure not! I can’t really tell you details about it, you know the reason but I can tell you some things: It is very romantic, feminine and innocent. It has lots of delicate enrichments and it has a beautiful sweeheart neckline icon wink Scrap Art Zine and Color Scheme Oh yeah, and it is strapless.

The Monogram that you can see on the picture, we have used it already for our engagement cards and I want to have it on the invitations and also as a wedding theme – somehow.

Hey girls! First of all, thank you very much for your comments!! You really made my week!!

Today I am gonna show you a new layout that I did last week. As you can see, I used some acrylic paint. When I had that paint on the layout, I almost started to cry, because it just didn’t look like I wanted it to look… But somehow it worked out icon wink Skype Session Actually I filmed this layout, but somehow the fokus wasn’t on the right point… But I guess, I will be able to film another layout soon icon wink Skype Session

So always remember: If you are creating a layout and it doesn’t look like you planned, don’t give up on that layout!!  icon wink Skype Session

Maybe you are interested in my wedding plans?? Since the time between now and the wedding is getting less with every past second, I am planning and getting ideas in my free time.

I actually found the perfect dress in the internet and I have been in a bridal store to try this kind of gown on, just to know that it looks good on me. I can’t show you a picture of it, because Adrian reads this blog too icon wink Skype Session   So, my friend told me, ivory looks better on me – but I prefer white. I don’t like the yellowish/oldish color of this ivory. And then I found out, that it is not just about the dress, there are accessories that are important too! Like the perfect bridal veil, jewelry and shoes. I just tell you: I never thought, that planning a wedding could be so much stress icon wink Skype Session haha

The funny thing is, that I have no problems with deciding what decoration we should have on the tables. Since we have a veeeery low budget, the decoration is a lot of fun for me. I like to find out ways where you can safe as much as possible!

So the decoration on the tables will consist of loooots of little candles in different kinds of glasses (some even filled with water). And some flowers that my mom has to grow in her garden icon wink Skype Session But I don’t want to have too many flowers. I also want to create some paper pom-poms (picture below by Martha Stewart) that are hanging from the ceiling. Of course, there are many more ideas, but I am not gonna tell you everything icon wink Skype Session

Constructive

I am so happy today, not because Adrian did something extraordinary or so, no, today it is just because of YOU guys!!! I was writing PM’s with an old classmate the last few days. We actually never did things together, but now she started to write me and it is just so very nice to exchange thoughts with her. And after that I just checked some new comments on my german blogs (you English speaking girls are a little lazy with posting comments icon wink Constructive ) and some new comments on YouTube and I just got so happy about all the nice words, people I don’t even know wrote to me.

So I started thinking a little and decided, that I want to learn something from those comments and the happyness I got because of them. So here is the deal, I will challenge myself and start to write more constructive comments in the www-scrapbooking-world!

And here are some comments (just a few of many many), that I wanted to show you, so you perhaps want to post more comments to on your favorite blogs, to support those writers??

rosyperu88: I love the way you use paint in your layouts. I recently bought a lot of acrylic paint by Making Memories. I’m going to give it a try. Thank you for the awesome ideas. You bf’s music rocks by the way

ilovedonut17: i love it!! You are such a good scrapbooker, you use things that can be found lying around

sarah20az: Love how you show the actual event you made the layout for! I also have to try the paint free form mat! Your page is fresh…I am more of a straight line girl and can’t wait to try some more free style scrapbooking!!!!

hippiechick1870: Wow, beautiful layout. Your boyfriend is right, you DO have a lot of talent.
I wish I could scrapbook like you. icon smile Constructive   I visited your blog and do you take all those pictures, too? If you do, you are an amazing photographer.

Thank you girls for your comments!!!
