Wedding Album for a Friend

Hello..........a wedding album made for a friend. I love how it turned out. The "Happily Ever After Mini Album" instructions were purchased from Laura aka www.followingthepapertrail.blogspot.com . Sigh.......I had every intention of making this album in plenty of time but at the eleventh hour.....it still turned out GREAT! I did tweak the cover and made some changes from Laura's original design - hope she is OK with that. Here goes (lots of photos) so grab a beverage and enjoy..........final album size 6-1/2" x 7-1/2" x 2-1/2"............first up: Tie the Knot Simply Scrappin paper (retired SU) was used throughout the album. The cover with a string of pearls and a simple message at the corner.
