My formula for this album was lots of black, grey, and white;  paper, cardstock, washi tape, photo mats, and journal tags.
 pages 1 and 2
 swirls of pearls
 pages 3 and 4
 more pearls
 page 4 - waterfall
 The waterfall allows for photos on the front and back, which means 6 photos on one page which is why I tripled the amount of journaling tags.

Wedding Album Cover - Breann and Ryan

For this album I cut chipboard to 10" x 7".  I used my new Crop-A-Dile Corner Chomper by Memory makers - VERY disappointing!  It said on the package that it cuts chipboard easily - not so, my hand is still sore, also when I used it on paper no matter how I fiddled with lining up the paper it still left odd corner bits that I had to trim by hand. Not happy with this $25.00 purchase.

I did not know their wedding colors, so I used lots of black and white patterned paper, cardstock, and washi tape for this young couple's album, going for a classic yet modern look.

Loving Martha Stewart's hydrangea punch.  I used scraps of the grey and white patterned cardstock that were leftover from the album to build my flowers.

Had a blast adding lost of pearl swirls, really added a lot of richness and texture to the album.
