Fallin' For You!

We have a new Issue over at Paper Issues today, Fallin' for You, sponsored by Ruby Rock-it!  The theme can be fall, wedding...or anything related.  I got a huge package of goodies from the Ruby Rock-it's At Last collection.  Since it's been a while since I got married (21 years!!) I decided to scrap a picture of my newlywed cousin and her hubby...the cutest couple I know.  They just celebrated their first anniversary!  Take a peek:

I based my layout on Sketch 253 from Creative Scrappers.  The papers in the At Last collection are really pretty...a combination of peach, aqua and grey...very soft.  I decided they'd look best with a black and white photo, so I converted the picture.  The doily was cut from one of the papers in the collection using my Silhouette.

 

I think my favorite items in the collection were these chipboard feathers from the package of wedding die cuts. As soon as I saw them I had to use them!

 

 

The "to have and to hold" is also from the die cuts package.  The collection also has a selection of glitter borders that are a lot of fun.  I used one behind my picture and the other along the bottom of the page.

I cut the title using my Silhouette as well.  The only items I added were some coordinating Studio Calico sequins.  The "Fallin' For You" Issue will run through November 10th. Be sure to link up any wedding or fall themed projects here, and you could win a prize pack full of Ruby Rock-it's "At Last" collection.   Thanks for stopping by and I can't wait to see what you create!

Welcome to day two of The Twinery / Ruby Rock-It Blog hop!

 I was very excited to receive a HUGE package of Carnival Queen goodies from the folks at Ruby Rock-It.  There were so many goodies I didn't know where to begin!  I fell in love with the fun embellishments and the great colors.  They were the perfect fit of this funny picture of my daughter and friends on the roller coaster at a recent trip to Six Flags NE.

 

 

I fell in love with the Carnival Queen Pockets with the polaroid frames, and I combined it with some of the die cuts for a fun embellishment!

 

 

I used some Ocean, Shore and Orchid Twine to create a grid as a background for the layout. 

It was such a fun layout to create!  Next stop along the hop is Ro Philippsen.  Be sure to visit each blog on the hop and leave a comment along with your e-mail address.   If you do, you'll be eligible to win this FAB Solid Baker's Twine Sampler (retail value $30) or the Carnival King collection from Ruby Rock-It!
