A Favorite Scrapbook Layout: Us

As I mentioned last week, my husband and I recently celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary. We've been through a lot over the years and today's scrapbook layout, one of my favorites, documents our early relationship.

"Us" 12x12 Minimalist Scrapbook Layout

Scrapbook Layout: Celebrating a Wedding Anniversary

Thirteen years. That's how long my husband and I have been married. To celebrate, I'd like to share a scrapbook layout about our 11th wedding anniversary when we took a little trip to Michigan to play some slots.

The photos and embellishments I chose for this anniversary layout were carefully thought out. Let's start with the title "Hallway 2 Slots" and the photo of me in our hotel room, which was connected to the casino by a long hallway. Then we move onto a photo of my husband playing slots with his arm pointing toward the third photo of the casino.

I chose an arrow to show direction, threw down some games pieces and even used a piece of broken gold jewelry to represent the cha-ching of playing slots and winning money.

Supplies: black cardstock, Jillibean Soup cardstock, Piggy Tales diecuts, CTMH cork arrows, acrylic paint, Basic Grey letter stickers, Craftwork Cards Candi, Provo Craft ephemera, ticket, broken necklace, StazOn ink.

Have you ever used broken jewelry on a scrapbook layout? ~Danielle
