Here's my take on it and a little inspiration for you:

For this layout, I simply mirrored the sketch to make it work better with my photo. I used the Main Kit and The Embellishment Add On for this layout. The doilies and black background cardstock are from my stash. The picture was taken back in 2008 by my mother-in-law during our self-guided engagement photo shoot. I just loved this shot and had to include it in my wedding album!


I made some big blooms with the cream colored cardstock and the pearl brads that are included in this month's kit. I'll have a tutorial on how to make these later this month. 


I made some greenery using Heartfelt Creations Bella Rose die and leaves with the Spellbinders Rose Creations dies. I also added this little green butterflies which I have added to all of my wedding pages so that they all look like they belong together.


I added my title as a quote and layered a crochet doily over my paper doilies.

Remeber to check out the August Kit if you haven't already, it's simply GORGEOUS!


See you later! :)
