Spend my Life

This month the http://SistasScrapToo.blogspot.com/  hosted a "Sista Challenge A Sista" Challenge...

Leialoha issued me the following challenge:

Create a Layout using

- 3  black and white photos

- 3 words for your title

- 3 monochromatic embellishments. Yes, that's right, your embellishments (and you must use at least three) must be the same color.

For this challenge I used my wedding photos and wedding colors as inspiration...

The journaling is words from the song "Spend My Life by Eric Benet & Tamia which was sung at our wedding.

Our wedding colors were Dark Blue, Carolina Blue (Go Heels) & Silver... I used the dark blue as my monochromatic color, light blue and silver as my photo mat and accent colors. My embellishments were ribbon, prima flowers, brads, and a chipboard flourish (Home Decor)... Glimmer Mist was used to make the colors coordinate.

Miss U Much

On October 3, 2008 my Dear Aunt lost her long battle with breast cancer... Although, she has been gone a year, not a day goes by that we don't think of her and we all miss her terribly... In her memory, I created "Miss U Much" thanks so much to breadesi9er from the Cricut MB for the inspiration... Click on pic for larger view
