Your wedding is a special keepsake!
From the selection of the dress, to choosing the cake, shopping for flowers, coordinating the ceremony and reception and possibly...a honeymoon.
When I was getting ready to be married I kept a bridal folder of all the things I liked, that had caught my eye and had inspired me. I only wish I had started scrapbooking and memory keeping as I do today. I would of loved to have preserved those special notes and clippings in a beautiful album like Designer Jan Hennings made!
Designer Lesley Langdon offers a unique and special way to decorate tables at the reception. Why not make a few of these display albums to go on the parents and family tables. Then invite the guests to take them home with them for a special keepsake!
Crate Paper's Portrait Collection and GlueArts adhesives help make creating these keepsakes a breeze!

A Photo Frame Wedding Center Piece
Designed by: Lesley Langdon
Lesley and her husband Mark recently celebrated their 10th Wedding Anniversary!
My friend Lisa and I made photo center pieces for her wedding, and they looked a little something like this, just really plain and no embellishment, and way more photos, I think we had showcased 10 in all. You can take this idea and make it longer if you like to show off more photos of family and friends, maybe photos of people who will be sitting at that table? So many possibilities and this beautiful paper line from Crate Paper, combined with amazing adhesives from Glue Arts will give you all you need to make beautiful table decorations.
Supplies:
Glue Arts Glue Glider Pro Perma Tac Adhesive
Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive Squares
Glue Arts Hot Glue Gun
Glue Arts U-Cut-It Foam
Crate Paper (Patterned Paper, Stickers, Die Cuts)
Spellbinders Standard Circles (LRG) Die Template
Spellbinders Grand Calibur Due Cut Machine
Clearsnap Ink (Color Queue)
Want2Scrap Black Pearls
Stickles by Ranger
Copic Marker
Scor-Pal
Instructions:
1. Cut two 12x6 and two 6x6 pieces of Crate Paper patterned paper.
2. Score the 12 inch papers at 6 inches.
3. As shown in diagram using Glue Arts Perma Tac adhesive, glue together the pieces of each 6x6 portion. Apply glue to 3 sides (left, right and bottom), ensure you do not glue the top to keep the pocket open for the photos.
4. Now that you have three 6x6 square pockets all adhered together, position a circle die template in the middle of each square (use tape to hold in place) and run it through your die cut machine. Insert photos.
5. Decorate the photo frames with stickers, die cut images using Glue Arts Hot Glue Gun, Extreme Adhesive Squares and U-Cut-It foam.
6. Color portions of the images with a matching Copic Marker, and as a final step, add Stickles to some of the paper images.
