The Princess' Wedding Surprise Blog Hop

If you happened her by chance, then your in luck there will be some beautiful layouts for a brand new bride being showcased. So if you need some inspiration to get that wedding album done or even started (in my case) grab a drink and start at ...

Liz's Blog,

Welcome and thank you for joining us to celebrate the fairytale wedding of The Host of this hop Liz's daughter, Princess Heather. Today, January 28th, 2012, is her wedding day and while you are hopping she could be getting dressed, walking down the aisle, or already celebrating her new life with Prince Charming.

This blog hop is dedicated strictly to 12 x 12 scrapbook layouts. Most layouts you see in this hop are being put together into a wedding surprise scrapbook album for her daughter, a gift fitting of any young princess. You are going to be amazed at what creations these fabulous ladies have designed.

As a “thank you” to you, all the wonderful royal court of followers and new comers, She also has some dreamy blog candy to offer. In order to be eligible for this blog candy, all that is required of you is to comment and follow each blog along the hop and to stop in at the facebook pages of the sponsors to thank them! The last stop on the hop is her daughter’s blog, Please stop in and wish her congratulations and if you facebook, drop her a note on her wall: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1224236273

I hopped onto this wonderful hop as a fill in for someone who had to drop out last minute, so that is why my layout already has photos in it & will not be going to the bride... crafting community at it's finest; jumping in to lend a hand :0)

So here is my project I made as a gift for my Aunt, I put this layout into a shadow box for her to hang on a wall or put on a shelf.

I also wanted to share a wedding shower card I made for a niece of mine
