The Wedding Day!

Life is starting to get back to normal! It seems that the day went so fast but I was able to really enjoy the day and myself. Only cried a few tears and I was really proud of myself. I am finally able to share some pictures with you. So here they are!




Here is the happy couple at the photo shoot before the wedding. All of the professional pictures were taken at the Wildcat Supper Club, they have beautiful grounds, complete with a pond.











The entire wedding party after the formal shot with their sunglasses!











Justin and his Groomsmen clowning for the camera. They did alot of that!!

Everything went so well, and it was a very nice wedding and reception. They had the reception at a local supper club in our area but had it in their shelter outdoors along with a huge tent sent up for the day. The weather stayed nice and the food was wonderful!!



Me, Jim and my Mom; we were told that we cleaned up rather well!



This is my Mom's Mustang Convertible, she was very nice and trusted Justin to drive it after the wedding.

And, of course, I have lots more pictures and these are just pictures that we took. Haven't even seen the professional picture yet!

I know what your thinking, I bet there is another scrapbook in the works. And there just might be but not for a bit, I have to enjoy my summer alittle bit. I am thinking in couple of months this will be a great project.

As always take care, thanks for checking out the pictures and our happy day!


Here is Justin with some of his Groomsmen. They look more serious than Justin does at the moment.

Wedding Day!

Well today is the wedding day, I am so glad that I am setting up this post to post automatically. I am sure that I would not have time otherwise. This is the card that my husband and I will give Justin and Kristy. Again it uses the swirl that they also used on the wedding invite, and the colors are the same as what they used.

I am sure that it will be a great day, hopefully the weather will cooperate and that would be a nice touch and hopefully my water proof mascara holds up and I don't look too foolish!!

I will share pictures of the wedding sometime next week. As always, take care!

Shower and Bachelor Party

Here are the last two pages of the scrapbook. I did one page just of Justin and his friends as they got ready to do the bachelor party; they went clay pigeon target shooting and then back to meet up with the girls for the party that night.

This page is all Justin, hanging out with his friends and smiling!

This page is for Kristy is the shower; while the guys were playing, we had the wedding shower for Kristy. After the shower, the guys were back for a cookout and then out for some drinks.

I wish I would have gotten some pictures of Kristy with her friends, that would have probably made a better page but apparently I wasn't thinking that day!!

I have one card to share but I won't share it until the 19th of June, which is the wedding day!

So as always, take care.

The Shower

As the scrapbook is almost finished and the wedding is now only five days away, things are getting busy around our house so I will get these pages posted and then I am afraid that the blog will be on automatic pilot for a week or so!

Didn't this page turn out so cute, even though it snowed on the shower day it still was a great time. Looks like we are having another weird summer as its the middle of June now and instead of wearing shorts I have jeans and a sweatshirt on!

I like how everything came together for this page. I used the same stamp set that Kristy picked out for the wedding invitations. The black embossed swirl is just such a pretty accent in my opinion. I just got the die that cuts the hearts and the coral swirl in the upper right corner and had to give that a try also.

I have to get two more posts ready so as always, take care!

Wedding Card (but not the one you think!)

This past weekend, we were invited to my husband's nephews wedding and here is the card that I came up with. Its not the one that I will be making for Justin and Kristy, just thought that I should throw that out there!!

This card used my the Polka Dot Embossing Folder and Top Hat Die; the colors are Gable Green and Pixie Pink. I used some Dazzeling Diamonds glitter to set off the tulip.

Also the ribbon that is on the card is the recycled ribbon that I took off of the invite! I am always doing that kind of stuff!!

As always, take care.

Our Yacht

On our last night in Florida, my mom and dad treated us to a ride aboard this beautiful yacht (which we found out had been built in Wisconsin!). We toured the Gulf coast and watched the sunset.

It was a perfect way to end our vacation and get back to reality. We seen some dolphins (which are almost impossible to get a picture of) and some pelicans.

Justin and Kristy had a great vacation in Florida. Stay tuned for the next adventure. The wedding shower, now that was alittle interesting and fun!!

As always take care, thanks for visiting.

Destination Paradise!

When I started making this scrapbook page, that is exactly what I was thinking....Paradise!! The beaches in southern Florida are so pretty and even though we didn't have the warmest weather, we still had fun looking for shells, enjoying a walk on the beach and the sunsets! I don't think a sunset could be any prettier!

We have great sunsets in Wisconsin, and probably anyone can say that no matter where they live, but I really do like the Florida sunsets.

Well I am almost done with the kids scrapbook, I just have one more Florida page; then I will do two pages of the wedding shower and then thats it!! The book is almost full and the wedding is almost here. It seems just a year ago and we were just starting the plans and its now less than two weeks away. I have been asked to brink the scrapbook to the wedding reception, we will have a table with a scrapbook of Kristy's childhood and one of Justin's and this scrapbook in the middle. And before you ask, yes there will be a Volume Two of Justin & Kristy's Memories; it will start with the wedding.
