A friend at work was just recently able to exchange wedding bands with his wife after several years of marriage. They decided to keep them wrapped until Christmas.
To honor this occassion, I knew I wanted to make a scrapbook page, but one they could hang up.

I asked him for their favorite colors. His is forest green. Hers was pink or red. How much more perfect could that be for the holiday?!
I started with the paper. The base was whimisical and the heart-patterned paper was the perfect complement. I wanted their names on the piece, and the ribbon made the perfect background for the banner. The heart-shaped brushed metal brads are the perfect accents.
The banner pieces have alternating inset round corners with outside rounded corners.
The hanging holly is a rub on using the same paper from the banner piece with the edges inked in red and popped up from the simple white textured white cardstock. The "love" metal piece is affixed directly to the embellishment.
Clear photo corners are holding in place the two picture placeholders for a 3.5" x 5" and a 3" x 3" picture. Finishing the piece are four infinity clips to reflect the unity of marriage and echo the rings they were exchanging.
I had so much fun making this and have been wanting to do something like this for a long time. I think placing a scrapbook page into a shadow box frame would make a great gift for any occassion and can be custom made. So excited about this next step.
