Forever

This LO started out differently. I had wanted to attempt this LO of Laura's. I sat at my desk & messed around with Photoshop.

Let me just say Photoshop & I don't mix well. I am not the most computer-savvy person around at all, but I figure I'm not a stupid person & I can follow directions so I try. Well, I must have the version of Photoshop that's of no use to scrappers because usually the tutorials I see are for a different version than what I have (Adobe Photoshop). To find what is being described is not as easy as it seems. Sorry on a rant there.....

Anywhoo, for my attempt I decided to play with my wedding pics since I don't have too many scanned onto my computer so I wouldn't have to go crazy choosing which pics to use.

Still with me??

Ok, well long story short, I managed to follow the directions but once I printed my pics (of which I only had 12 instead of the 16--like I said I need to scan more in) it didn't look right.

Instead of throwing out the pics, I decided to cut the pics apart & make it work. I was also excited to do this since I've never done a 12x12 LO of my wedding before. The LO's of my wedding that I do have are all 6x6 that I did as a series of mini-albums of just Joe & I. You can see them here.

detail bling shot...Been playing around with more pics. Hoping to scrap more tomorrow since it's National Scrapbook Day. ;) Today I told that to Marissa & she refused to believe me until I pulled up a blog showing I wasn't lying to her. My girl has been raised around so much sarcasm that she refuses to believe me when I'm not being sarcastic! LOL!!

I am also photoshop challenged and applaud your efforts!!! Your layout is gorgeous - I've never scrapped a single wedding photo (well, no - I did scrap one of them) maybe I'll go the collage route.
My husband has been making jokes all day about the 'holiday' - he asked me if we were going to get mail today and if I thought the bank would be open - he's a wise guy! Hope you enjoyed the day!

What a gorgeous LO Sara! Love the PP and the bling!!! Everything fits together nice.
I love that LO of Laura's but I think its nice when you start lifting and then it turns into your own. Sometimes a piece of inspiration is all I need...
