True Happiness

My brother married the love of his life earlier this year. They were married in a converted mudbrick barn in the Dandenong Ranges, and the bride wore a gorgeous ice blue gown.

I still had a Wishes and Dreams Paper Album Kit from a couple of years ago which matched perfectly, so some time ago I put together a little memory album for them with some of my photos in it, and put the rest of the family's photos on a disc which I tucked into the back flap. They were delighted!

However, that left me with a dilemma: I really wanted to scrap the photos for myself as well, but I didn't have any Wishes and Dreams papers left. However, when the new Reflections Power Palette Collection and the Wish Paper Pack came out this month, I knew exactly how to put them to good use! These collections coordinate together, and contain the most beautiful shades of green, blue, grey and white.

The flu has prevented me from doing as much as I would have liked this month, but I did get a page done using their engagement invitation from last year and the colours worked perfectly with this photo as well. The background sheet is Green Shimmer from the new Wish Paper Pack, and the rest of the page is made with papers and elements from the Reflections Collection. The paper circle was cut using the Custom Cutting System and the Jumbo Circle Pattern. Don't forget to check back here later for the wedding pages!

So what's this about Wishes and Dreams? Each year Creative Memories Consultants raise funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation by selling specially designed papers, embellishments, paper albums and coversets. Simply entitled "Wish", $1.00 from the sale of each Paper Pack, Embellishment Pack and Simply Said Book, and $2.00 from each Coverset will go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation to help them make dreams come true for children with life-threatening illnesses.

You can help us raise funds by purchasing "Wish" products or by hosting a Make-A-Wish Fundraising Party before November 30 and introducing your friends to this worthwhile cause. Further information about hosting parties is available at my CM website or by sending an email to me at ingrid@coolice.com.au.
