favorite snapshot.

In my Prima grab bag from Your Memories Here was this gorgeous art-stitched mulberries specialty paper. I didn't know what I wanted to do with it. It was one of those pieces that's so pretty, you want to save it forever.

Well, in an effort to finish the last few pages of my 2011 album I went through some of the photos in my album on my laptop called "LB's wedding events."[bridal shower, bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner, wedding] I found this one of TJ & me that hasn't been scrapped. I love it (& at the same time I hate it because that's a year ago when I was running regularly & was so fit. as opposed to me now.). I wanted to create a simple layout that focuses on the photo. This Prima specialty paper is also perfect for this becuase it allows much of the paper to show.

The background of the photo was cluttered so I changed it to sepia & darkened the edges.

This Prima paper comes 12x12 so I had to trim it down. I love the trim & stitching along the bottom! So pretty.

Also in my Prima grab bag were the Prima flowers (eminence collection). These were good to use along the bottom of the photo to help hide the clutter in the photo. I thought the Helmar 450 quick dry adhesive was good to adhere them to the page.

I also used some gold Jenni Bowlin rub ons, gold washi from a washi share with Ashley, labels & stickers from the Echo Park everyday eclectic collection pack & labels (The Sweet Life cut outs & One and Only strips) from Elle's Studio.
