Erica's Surprise 100 cartridge blog hop

Hello all & Welcome to Erica's super secret surprise blog hop! You should have arrived at my blog from Lucinda's blog, if you didn't, please go back to Erica's blog and start from the beginning, you DO NOT want to miss anything! First thing I want to say is CONGRATULATIONS to Erica and Mike today! I'm so glad that she asked me to be part of their special day by particiapting in this hop. I decided that I would make a page dedicated to their wedding using some sneak peaks that she provided to those of us that were participating. :) So, here's the page I made for Erica, Mike and Bella. I hope you enjoy it!



The background paper is heidi grace designs "A Little Bird's Tale" pattern
The photos and the monogram are ones that Erica shared with us on the design team over the past couple weeks. I printed them out on high-gloss brochure paper made by HP for color laser printers.
The inside oval frames were Oval frame cuts on George and Basic shapes, unfortunately, I don't know the sizes because I had to fidget a lot to get them to fit right.
The outside ovals are Oval cuts from George and Basic shapes, as with the frames, I had to fidget with sizing A LOT to get them to fit right.
The pink paper is Bazzil Basics(I think, it was in my stack of misc papers)
The Shiny(Pearlescent) Green is Colorbok Pearlescent cardstock.

I used Pebbles Classic Chalks to add the little hints of color on the photos. I've just recently begun using chalks & I absolutely LOVE what I can do with them...I know it's hard to tell in the photo of the page, but the purple on Bella's ribbon waistband came out SO CUTE! as did the rose that Erica is holding. I will be doing a lot more with chalks in the future! :)
