Beach Wedding Album- Heavy Photos!

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you are having a good day!  I just finished  the wedding album for my niece Michelle and her new husband Mike.  They got married almost two weeks ago in Cocoa Beach, Florida on the beach. The same beach that I used to go to all the time! My sister said it was a beautiful day and a beautiful wedding!                                                                                                      I had to take the photos outside because I was not getting enough light inside. I put a little white lacy spread under the album.

 Here is the front cover. I love the beautiful embossed paper that looks like sea shells! I heat embossed the sentiment and used a beautiful die set I have to cut out the medallion. I used glitter gold washi tape along the edges.

When you open the album there is a pocket with a pull out page for photos. Then there is a page for a large photo with shimmer gold ribbon and bow.

On the pocket page, I embossed Mr & Mrs. on a piece of cardstock layered with gold and accent pearls. I used a punch to scallop the strip it is layered on.

Here a waterfall that opens from the side, it has a magnetic closure and I die cut and embossed the little sea shell. The pages were edge cut with Spellbinders dies. When you open the waterfall there is a page in a pocket you can pull out. The card stock is sparkly!

Here is a beautiful page, I used another beautiful Spellbinders die and a gold rub on transfer.

Isn't the gold shiny and beautiful!

Here is the next pages. They have one large photo page with sea shell die cuts and one large pocket page and a half pocket page with tags. I love how this turned out! More of the sparkly card stock.

Here is the large pocket with tags. I added a little scalloped edge.

When you open the half pocket it reveals the page with the die cut sea shells and the shell embossed pockets and tags. Sparkly!

Aren't the die cut sea shells beautiful!

And here are the sea shell embossed pockets with tags.

Here are the next pages. I used a Stampin' Up corner punch and pearls on the first page and a pretty print on the second page.

On this first page I added a pocket and framed mat that can be pulled out. I used the pretty love print paper, scalloped the edge and used some satin ribbon and a little heart rhinestone charm. The second page has the corners punched with rhinestone accents.

Love. Isn't it sweet!

Here are the next pages. More corners punched and added pearls. Another sea shell embossed pocket page with tags.

Here is an up close photo of the pocket with the sea shell embossing and the tags. I used a glitter pen to draw a thin line along the curved edge.

Here are the last pages. I have one large photo area and a double waterfall that will hold 30 photos. I used my Spellbinders for the scalloped edges and added pearl accents. The card stock is sparkly.

Here is an up close look at the waterfall. I love it!!! I wish you could see the sparkle!

And this is the back of the album complete with a handmade with love tag.     I hope you enjoyed seeing my very long post of the wedding album.   Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great day!

Wedding Album - HEAVY PHOTOS

Good afternoon everyone I hope you are all well!  I know it has been a while since I made a post. We have had a busy summer as I am sure most of you have had.  First, we went to Florida for a week for Ruby's 3rd birthday! We had so much fun swimming, going to the beach, the movies, Build-a-Bear, a community yard sale, The Ham Jam, did some campaigning for our son-n-law Daryl, and of course Ruby's birthday! We got to visit our oldest granddaughter Alexis and her boyfriend Christian and take them to dinner. We got to see my sister, niece and great niece and my son-n-law Daryl's parents. Our oldest grandson Zachary decided to come back with us for a while so, we have been getting him settled. Then my husband had a trade show to do in Fayetville and we tagged along (to swim in the pool). We had visitors from Canada so I had a few dinners to do and Zachary had his birthday!
     The past few weeks have been crazy! We have had a few thunderstorms in the past few weeks but the one recently was a doozy!!! Lightning hit right outside our house (it was so LOUD and BRIGHT) and fried our Magic-jack so I have been without a phone. We had to order a new one and that was an ordeal. We also had to order a new router. We had no phone (other than my husband's business phone) no computer and no TV ugh!!! It also fried an outlet outside and we have to have some rewiring. Things are almost back to normal now, almost.
       Anyway, a lady I worked with is getting married next month. I was trying to decide what to get her and decided on making her a wedding album. It was a real project but I love how it turned out and I know she will love it as well!

Here is the cover. The cardstock is a shimmer pearl. I added a piece of stretch lace on the edge and the white satin ribbon. I die cut the medallion with a beautiful set of dies I purchased from E-bay and heat embossed the sentiment.

Here is an up close look.

Here is the inside flap and first page (or it's the second page). I made a side waterfall using my Spellbinders edge dies. The gold floral pocket edge is another die from E-bay. The next page has a large mat with rhinestone heart gems and it opens out.

The waterfall side opens out as well and has pull out photo mats.

The heart flap opens to reveal a beautiful punch cut edge (Martha Stewart punch) pocket and a couple of photo mats.

Here is a photo of it opened out.

Here are the next two pages. A page mat and a pocket with a large photo mat.

This is the next two pages.

This page has two photo mats, the top left corner of the bottom mat was left loose so a photo can be tucked behind on the top mat. The pretty flower die is another from E-bay.

I love this beautiful rose print paper I purchased when I went to Florida.

I made a pocket, embossed with an Anna Griffin embossing folder that I have, made three various size mats embossing one with a cabbage rose embossing folder. 

This is some pretty paper from Hobby Lobby.

These are the pages opened .

Here are the next set of pages.

The flap on the first page opens.

Here is the last page and back inside flap.

The waterfall lifts to reveal a pocket with an embossed photo mat. You can't see in the photo but the embossed piece across the pocket says Mr. & Mrs. in a flourish.

     Well there you have it. The wedding album I made.   I really enjoy making them and I am sure there will be more to come!    I will also be posting the wedding card I made in another post (this post was much to long, but I wanted to let you see all of the pages and features).

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!
