Teah Woodward: Capturing Smiles

Capturing Smiles Bundle + Perennial Postage Dies + Phrases & Frames Stamp Set

The look on Johns face was absolutely worth every minute that I put into this card! Creating customized cards for the people I love, gives me so much pleasure. I made this card to give John for our wedding anniversary and I wanted to share with you. This is a mash up of several different products. All products are from Stampin' Up!

I love the personal detail I was able to add, using actual photos of John and I, to the film strips both on the front and inside the card. To scale the photos down to the right size, I "inserted" photos into a word document and was then able to scale it down to fit the film strips.
