Our 1 year anniversary is coming up on September 15 and we haven’t even started our scrapbook. I’ve been trying to get my wife to do it with me, but she’s been putting all her creativity into her cooking lately (not that I’m complaining about that). So… I’m taking the initiative. I’ll be obscuring our boy’s face with digital stickers because of the public nature of blogging, but everything else will be paper, stickers, my own writing and drawing, and embellishments. All the photos are from our amazing photographer- Brian Hale at http://proofs.halechannel.com/. And here’s the first page:
The layout came from “Sketch n Scrap” (http://sketchnscrap.blogspot.com/2013/08/sketch-n-scrap-38.html). It was so clean and simple it was just perfect for first page of a wedding scrapbook. My beautiful wife is on the left and I’m on the right. This was made with a really pretty velum with dried flowers in it, ribbon, and card stock, and stickers. The little glittery flowers in the upper left hand corner have tiny pearl-like beads in the center. I have a feeling they’ll be making several appearances throughout the scrapbook.

Beautiful layout!! Love your photos!! And happy anniversary! Thanks for joining us at Sketch N Scrap!
Thank you!!
So much love. You are both beautiful. A gorgeous family!!

Beautiful take on the sketch and way to go getting a wedding layout scrapped! I have been married 15 years and still haven’t started mine, lol. Thanks for playing along with us at Sketch N Scrap! 🙂
LOL! I guess I shouldn’t feel so negligent, then. There’s always time for the a 20th anniversary gift.
What a great layout, the purple ribbon adds such an elegant touch to the page and keeps the foucs on your beautiful photos. And for the record I still don’t have my wedding photos scrapped and our 4 year anniversary is in December, lol. – it is on my to-do list, hahahaha. Thank you for joining us at Sketch~n~Scrap!
Phew! I don’t feel so bad. Thanks for your great comment.

Thanks so much. I always try to make sure that the photos are the center of attention in my scrapbooks, but with so many amazing embellishments, papers, and stickers these days, it can be hard.
