Wedding Album Part 6 - Finally Finished!

After about 2 1/2 years our wedding album is finally finished! :D  I started it ages ago but then I lost the mood for doing scrapbooking, so I finally got back to it 2 weeks ago and finished it. :)
Here's part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4 and part 5 of the album.
This was the "I Do" part of the ceremony:
 The rings part:
 The "just married" chapel exit:
 The background paper is so pretty that I didn't want to cover it up with too much decor, but I made a little "just married" floating balloon-looking thingie:



 I used a ribbon and a cardboard cut-out to make a little slider goodie on the page:

 I used some mulberry paper that I wet with some water and tore the edges, then stamped a paragraph on it:
 I used some iridescent string tied onto the cardboard cut-out and taped to the back of the page to place this onto the page:

 I used mulberry paper again that I wet with water and tore to get a soft effect, and stamped on some love words.  I also used a punch on the photo corners:


 I used an Inkadinkadoo stamping gear to decorate this background paper - this is a really cool stamping thingy:
 To decorate the background I added a piece of hearty tissue paper that was used as a filler in a gift bag that I got at my kitchen tea (or was it from a wedding gift...):
 The bouquet and garter part:
 I used my cuttlebug to emboss 3 squares of paper to add some decoration on the page:

 I also used my cuttlebug to emboss this piece of cardstock, and used purple chalk to colour it in and make the embossing more visible, and inked the edges a green inkpad:
 Dancing:
 I used a heart design punch on a purple piece of scrap paper and glued it onto a white piece of scrap cardstock, and then distressed the edges of the white cardstock (if you can see it):
 The cake, mmmm, and cake cutting.  I made this background page by folding a piece of paper that was used to wrap one of our wedding gifts, it was a pretty paper with glittered silver wording on it:
 And lastly, on the inside back cover of the album I made a section for all the thank you cards and things I gave out.  In the centre is a pocket I made with more tissue paper that was used as a filler in a wedding gift-bag, and I put the wedding thank you card in it.  On the left is the thank you tags I made for the wedding favours everyone got, and at the bottom left I made another pocket to hold the thank you note I gave everyone who came to my kitchen tea:
 I cut out patterned cardstock - 1 square (the back piece) and a half square (the front piece), inked the edges and "tied" them together with 3 brads to make a pocket:
So glad I finally finished it! :D
