I have had this photo of my Mum and my Grandma on Mum's wedding day for awhile. I scanned it from Mum's album some time ago and it has been sitting on my computer waiting for inspiration. Well yesterday the inspiration arrived from http://letsgetshabby.blogspot.com with their second challenge. Using gingham and florals. My first thought was Uggghhhh, however once the thinking cap went on and I checked my stash, the creative juices started flowing. The gingham paper is from Creative Memories Days, (so long ago now), but I did have gingham ribbon to match, and I have kept the Making Memories Vintage Rose Bouquet Crackle paper for just the right moment. I also dusted off the Cuttlebug and embossed the gingham paper with flowers just to give that extra "floral content". I am not one that usually scraps in this style but I am glad lets get shabby came along as I am now diversifying my styles a little. The hanging crystals just give it that yesteryear look as crystals were all the go when Mum got married.
