This is a sampling of the 40 paged victorian inspired wedding guest book that I just completed and sent off to the lovely bride-to-be. She needed at space enough for at least 130 of her guests to sign, give advice, share amemory , etc. on. She also sent me the cover of an antique 1890's Scrapbook cover that she bought off of ebay to use. I created the pages with heavy watercolor paper that I tore the edges on. I connected the pages with strips of fabric hinging tape. Next I antiqued each page with tea stained ink and off I went to create the tags, cards and layout of each page. It was a lot of fun, a lot of work but a lot of fun. I used antique laces and some vintage ribbons and the postcards she sent along. I hope she likes it. It is unique and one-of-a-kind, an heirloom for sure.
Definitely a OOAK heirloom keepsake!! The bride to be will love it -- you did a fantastic job with this.

Dear Tammy,
ReplyDeleteI just dropped by for a visit and found this post with your lovely work. What a very special project to be a part of!
Congratulations, also, on the 100th blog post giveaway...I would enter, but that would feel greedy as I have so much pretty ephemera and paper already.
Wishing you well,
Lesley
