I have been looking forward to this month's blog party...the theme fits perfectly with a scrapbook page I have made for my soon to be daughter-in-law Ashley. This month's theme is doilies. What better way to use doilies than on a wedding dress scrapbook page? I can't think of anything better. Here's my page:
This is a picture of Ashley and her mom admiring one of the dresses she tried on. I thought Waltzingmouse You're Lovely was the perfect stamp set to use for this page. My Beautiful Girl is exactly what I imagine her mother was thinking on this special day. The background is stamped with WM Vintage Christmas Background for a very subtle texture. I distressed all of the background patterned papers, Ashley loves a vintage look and I think she will like all of the rough edges. I also printed out some of the pictures in color, some in sepia and some in black and white...Ashley will love this detail. She loves black and white photos.
This was Ashley's favorite photo...and this is THE dress she chose. It was one of the first she tried on and we all could tell it was THE one. I used some digital patterned papers that I bought called Lavender Shabby Chic. I plan to use combinations of these papers throughout the book as I can print whatever color I need with no worry that I haven't bought enough!
That's it for me today...you still have time to make something for the Waltzingmouse Blog Party...here's a link with all the details!

Oh my goodness Cathy! This is spectacular, every little detail is just perfect. You used a doily to create the wedding dress, seriously brilliant. I may have to CASE that idea one day! The purple is amazing--LOVE it!
A fantastic layout documenting a very special event in a mother and daughter's life. Very creative j=use of the doilies for the dress! Incredible.
Cathy, this is simply amazing! Your doily dress is just as beautiful as Ashley's dress. This is a stunning page and I am sure Ashley will love the album you are making her.
Wowza!! This is just so amazing. What an incredible way to welcome this beautiful young lady into your family. If every page is as painstakingly detailed as this one, I'd be shocked if you were done by their first anniversary. This is such an act of love--every detail is absolutely perfect--my all time favorite is the doily dress. That's got to win a prize of some sort.
I just stared and stared...and panned around...and clicked to zoom in! This is absolutely spectacular, Cathy! Like amazing spectacular!! That dress you made from the doily looks so much like the one that Ashley has on! (Which is so gorgeous...she shines in it!) She'll just squeal with delight (and probably cry too!!) when she sees this page. I love the way you used her colors and added the sweet journaling card and sentiments. Oh please share the whole thing when you are done? I know it'll be a lot of photos but I am dying to see them ALL!
