My Wedding Photo Collage

My husband and I have been married for almost a year and a half now, and I finally got around to creating this photo collage. A little late...I know...but better late than never right? The opportunity presented itself more so when we received one of those picture frame collages for Christmas. =)
What a great way to create preserve memories while adding your own little creative twist!

This frame collage holds a total of 8 photos, but I only picked 6 pictures and embellished the remaining two spaces using my awesome Stampin Up supplies and other little tidbits I have been hoarding for the last few years. I think I may have even impressed my husband a little bit when I showed him the finished product! =) 

I created this "love" sign using a combination of Stampin Up (SU) and non-SU products.  I used a 4x6" piece of SU's Elegant Soiree DSP (retired) for the background. I also used the Beautiful Wings Embosslit, Cherry Blossom Embosslit (available in clearance rack), and the Little Leaves Embosslit. I added a wedding cake shaped brad (non-SU) to the center of the cherry blossom. I embellished the top left corner of the frame a flower cut from SU's Fun Flowers Bigz die.

For the second empty spot, I took a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, created a background with SU's En Francais background stamp (using Crumb Cake ink), and the Elements of Style Stamp set (using Baja Breeze ink). Other supplies used include Whimsical Words stamp set (retired), Four Frames stamp set, Elegant Soiree DSP (retired), scallop oval punch, decorative label punch, and pearls.

I picture frame still looked a little plain to me, so I decided to add some tiny paper flowers here and there.
