Love actually over at Eclectic Ellapu *

Happy New year!  First challenge for 2016 over at Eclectic Ellapu and because it is February is LOVE Actually.  I put together a wedding album for a friend of mine who got married couple of weeks ago - Fools lol.  I used chip board for the basis, card for the pocket pages and for the decor First Edition papers ( I think)  which are absolutely gorgeous. Silk ribbons for the bows, lots of magnets for the interactive pages Oh yess alot of patience lol.  Now for motherload of pics - sorry!

Why not come on over and join in with our new challenge.  Would love to see you there.
