Silver Anniversary

This week's challenge at Lasting Memories is another fun one - we're "Mining For Silver"!! We want to see something silver on those layouts this week

I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to make a layout for my parents' 25th anniversary, which they celebrated four years ago.

When they began planning this, they asked me to make the Save a Date and the Invites. I saved some of my supplies. I took the envelope for the invites and used it for this layout. I used May Arts SK01 to create the large bow.

I added some flowers to add dimmension.

The surprise is, when you open the envelope. I took one of their photos and displayed it.

I took tulle, corner punched paper, and placed the photo on top. I added some pearls as photo corners.

To tie it all together, I took vellum and attempted to write in calligraphy. I used May Arts' Lace with Pearl center Ribbon (384-34-09) for a trim on top!

Now head on over to Lasting Memories and show us how you use Silver in your Layouts!!

Daddy's Mini Me

This week's challenge at Lasting Memories is "Black and White with A Splash of Colour"! 

My take is a black layout with hints of blue! I took this year's Father's Day pics of  my hubby and son. They were both wearing matching outfits!! TOO CUTE!

I used my black Thickers, gray buttons, and some bling to embellish.

I used ribbon, as always, to add some more POP.

Now head on over to Lasting Memories and show us your POP of color!
