Letter Love

This is a page from my wedding scrapbook. It's the White House letter, congratulating me and my husband on our marriage. Yay!  Did you know that the President and the Queen send letters to their citizens congratulating them on a new marriage if they are sent an announcement (preferred) or an invitation. Amazing!

Though we got married years ago, I'm in no hurry to rush this album. I'd rather have one perfect wedding album down the road that is gorgeous than have a hodgepodge of so-so pages I redo a lot. That's my style. You have yours. No style is wrong or right, but we should all stick to what works for us. I'm happy redoing pages of my old "regular" scrapbooks. But not this one. This album I want done right. So I take baby steps.

This page was simple to put together but took a long while to make sure I had the right paper and design to fit the mood I wanted to convey. Sometimes clean and simple is simple to do, sometimes clean and simple takes forever, but it is always, always my choice.

Materials: Gold foiled navy paper by s.e.i, Solid Navy and Pearled Ivory paper by Bazzill Basics, and the subtle lace screen-print overlay is by Anna Griffin, Inc.
