And here's one I made earlier!

I started this layout at a classs at the Scrapstars Retreat in April and then have had a couple more sessions on it before finally finishing last week (it has taken me this long to get round to photographing and blogging it!).

The class and design was by Penny Kafai and I not only loved the papers (Carta Bella) but loved the design which incorporates a mini book within a 12x12 scrapbook page so perfect for a wedding where you have taken lots of photos and I have used my layout to feature photos from my cousin's wedding.

This is the front of the 12x12 layout and you can probably see the mini book which is cleverly worked into the layout and here are pictures with the book open so you can get an idea of what I mean.

The back of the book also incorporates a pocket with a journaling card and somewhere to hold any keepsakes from the day (I have included my placecard).

This side view shows you the thickness of the book.

Despite there being lots of room for photos in the book, I still had a few too many and also some were portrait in orientation and so didn't really fit so I created a second page making the whole thing a double-page layout.  Luckily our kit from the class included some spare papers and embellishments so although it doesn't match exactly it certainly co-ordinates well.

I really loved the design (which I may well use again) and am very pleased with the final layout.

Hope you are having a good day :).
