It's time for the My Mind's Eye Blog Challenge #31, and I decided to be last minute again, because the date crept up on me! But I did really love the sketch and had a plan of what photo I wanted to use so I just went with it!
My niece Lera just got engaged on August 28th of this past year, and I had the honor of taking her engagement photos! This is my first layout with the photos I took... this one with a picture of her new engagement ring! For the MME challenge we were to follow the sketch and use the theme "New" within the page. So here's the sketch photo followed by my take, "Newly Engaged"...
(Please Click on Photo to view larger).
I did turn the sketch on it's side so that I could use a horizontal photo. I used some MME embossed Core'dinations cardstock here as my background and then I also combined papers from the older Meadow Lark line with the newer Love Me collection! A variety of Cricut cartridges were used for this too, including, Elegant Edges, Wall Decor and More, Sweethearts and Lyrical Letters.
I'll share with you some close-up details as well!
That's all I have to show for this post... like I said... last minute, in the nick of time, lol! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a great week ahead! ;)
