This picture is one of the few I have of my parents when they were dating and I absolutely love it! Aren't they cute?! :) I titled it Beginnings because it was the beginning of their new love/life together! They have been married 48 years! WOW! I guess I better start planning that 50th party soon!!
Supplies used:
Paper: K & Company (Marcella) and DCWV (Neutral Stack)
Cricut: Ashlyn's Alphabet for the flourishes
Jasmine for the title (I cut the title 4 times on cardstock and glued together and then cut it out with a patterned piece to glue on top of that! It kind of gave it the 3-D look of cardstock and I liked the way it made it pop from the page.
Flowers: Prima from several packs... all mixed together!
Martha Stewart punches (2 different kinds)
Misc.: Brads, fiber, and pearls
Tattered Angels glitter mist: Coffee shop on the flowers
Color Box Chalks in various colors of brown
Cuttlebug: photo mat
Lots of pop dots under the flowers and flourshes to give it some dimension!
And I even managed to still use stickles on just a few of the flowers!
After I finished I realized this would be perfect for the Practical Scrappers challenge this week which is patterned paper... I used 7 patterns!!
Thanks for taking the time to look at my LO... I would love to hear your comments!

Beautiful layout Barb. Gee, when I get bored in a meeting (almost everyday) I doodle, but only doodle. Will have to remember to think "sketch", not doodle. Anyways I love the color pallete. Love the old photo. The flourish and flowers are so pretty and love the little pearls. I have a ton of them. Everytime I go by Michaels I check out the pearls!
Wow....that's a beautiful layout and a wonderful photo to scrap! You did an amazing job
so much work in this! What a beautiful way to showcase that photo!

Barb this is beautiful!!! I have got to pick up a pen when my mind goes there if this is what comes of it. I usually wait till I get home and then can't remember the details. This layout is wonderful, from a loving photo, perfect colors, textues and the detail that you put is this makes it complete. Thanks for inspiring me today.
