Wedding layout project

Hi folks,
This is the layout for Wednesday night's Product Preview: Teresa Collins Designs. I keep toying with the idea of adding more embellishments but I quite like the sophisticated simplicity of the fancy cutting and pearl/silver combination.. so it may change slightly!

Included in your pack is this sheet of title blocks:


...so you can swap in a title that best suits your photo.

Please bring: A 5"x7" Photo (or add one later), fine tip scissors, paper trimmer, adhesives and a black felt pen or Sharpie.
