How To Make A Wedding Scrapbook

Hi. I'm Susie Jefferson and I'm thrilled to have been invited by Kay and Gray of Blade Rubber Stamps to come and talk to you today all about what I know about scrapbooking. Hi again and here's how we going to have a brief overview on a wedding album.

I think the easiest way to actually deal with something like this is to go for something where you have all these papers in a kit so that you know that they're going to match in colour and in style and you can just whip through and pick out your favourites. I mean, I would definitely go for these blues, maybe not that one so much, that one definitely I'd go for that and so forth. That would be a good one too.

That one would definitely be my favourite. You can see here, I've used greys. Right, and here I've got the same picture which I've actually used a digital programme on to turn it to black and white.

This is the actual original photographs so that's been enlarged, it now looks like newsprint. Very fine border of white around, and I've used white photo corners here. Here, is a contrasting paper, which has actually got a little saying on it.

That has been stuck down with silicon glue. Those are little silk flowers tied up with a couple of ribbons and some deer-mounty stones stuck on. Again, here and at the top, and here this is a little tiny envelope with a little sticker on the top and I've put the diamante and in here, I've got a tiny little folding up tag book with the date of our wedding, which actually was Friday the 13th so it just proves I'm not superstitious.

So, that folds up nicely, just pops back in there. This one is a Japanese step-bound album I've done myself. I've got German strap here on the cover, surrounding the vintage photograph, little bit of glitter glue.

These are paper flowers which I've put on and then over painting with a bit of pearlised paint and glittered photo corners, tiny little gold peel-offs here and this ribbon has mainly been folded backward and forward on itself and wrapped around inside the album so it finishes there. I've then cheated by putting two little pieces to come out, then this is gone on top on it some of those little raised popped up things. So, opening it up, the ribbon continues underneath, finishes there.

Again this is covering the joined ends of the ribbon because you don't want knots or anything else inside. And more flowers just to continue the theme. And of course on the back, you want similar and in the back cover.

Always finish off nicely because people do notice, people do look. And that completed with all the wedding photos that would be the most fantastic gift to somebody. And that is a very brief overview about wedding albums. .
