Color Dare Wedding Layout

My daughter got married in July...of 2009.  Yep, I'm behind on my scrapbooking.  This week's challenge over at Color My Heart is Sweet Leaf, Topiary, and New England Ivy.  This monochromatic color scheme works really well when you have lots going on in your photo, and particularly when your background is filled with trees.  Like this:


I tried to center my photo of this layout, but you might notice the edges are not exactly square.  They are on the real page.  Honest!  And how much simpler can this layout get?  It's just three strips of paper in various widths. 

The L&D logo was designed using some Cricut cartridges (Graphically Speaking and Base Camp) along with the Design Studio and Juke Box accessories.  They allowed me to mix and match, weld, size, and stretch until we had created a unique logo for their wedding (see this post to see how this was used on the invitations).  I wanted to show you something similar using the CTMH Art Philosophy and/or Artiste cartridges, but I had to make an unexpected trip out of town.

Sometimes simple is best.

Until next time,
Becca
