Wedding Gift Scrapbook Page + colourQ Challenge #104

For the first time in a long time I created a scrapbook page using paper! Of course, it is a gift for a friend who is getting married tomorrow. (I prefer digital layouts of our family pictures so that I can print a copy for Esper's book and one for our family book.) I hope the friend that I made this for doesn't see my blog before I give it to her tomorrow... (but if she does I hope she likes it.)

My Jeff helped take their engagement and bridal pictures and I think he did a great job.

I stamped each of their initials using the Monogram Sweet stamp set.

I used an embossing folder to add texture to the flowers and then used a sanding block over the texture.

I created this layout using the colourQ color combo from challenge #104:

Along with the color combination, there was an additional challenge to pick a previous colourQueen to CASE (Copy And Share Everything). I chose this card to inspire my scrapbook layout:
