Wedding Planner

Hi everybody!

We are having a fantastic day here in Scotland! The sun is shining and it is so nice and warm.  You cannot believe that it is nearly time for the clocks to change to the winter time.  Well that is enough of the weather lets get down to the real business...... another challenge across at Hobbycutz!  Yes it is already challenge #21 and the theme is Make a home Decoration.  Well I thought the lovely digital image we were sponsored by our lovely new sponsor Crafty Sentiments Designs had the perfect digi for me.  I need to make a gift for a friend that is getting married in a couple of years and is so busy planning her wedding and all the pictures and clip outs of all the magazines are lying around so what a perfect gift for her to put everything in together!!!

Well here is my take on this Challenge #21:

I used from Hobbycutz this lovely Book cover and all these love Lazercuts for this lovely Wedding planner I am putting together for my friend.

This lovely Digital image is from Crafty Sentiments Designs .  I used my Promarkers to colour the image in.

I made a lovely bouquet of flowers and draped the ribbon.  I added a pearl in the center of the bow and on 2 corners.  I put some pearls as her tiara in her her.  

At the bottom of the cover I added this lovey lazer cut image with a lovely sentiment on.

 Well I hope you enjoyed this project of mine and hope I could be of some inspiration to you!
