I wanted something more personalized and "Jenny-fied" for my wedding (surprise, surprise, right?). I wanted something that people could write messages in, not just sign their name. And I wanted them to be able to get a glimpse of FH and I and our relationship.
So I bought an ordinary spiral bound book that had blank pages inside. The idea was to put pictures of FH and I all throughout the book, leaving room for guests to leave us little notes. But it was nothing special, so it definitely needed to be jazzed up. I needed to make a cover for it.
I talked before about how I made the artwork for the guest book cover myself.
Well the project is finally finished!
I took my artwork (on linen) and some beautiful Joel Dewberry fabric (Herringbone in Pond) that I ordered online especially for this project and created this.
All I had to do then was add some photos (a some old, some new) and I was done!
I love it! What do you think? :o)

i'm loving your ideas.. our guestbook was traditional.. and i honestly don't even know where it is :(
my sister in law put me in charge of her guest book last year, knowing i was a scrapbooker.. i cut a bunch of paper to 6x6 in their wedding colors, to fit the post bound album we bought, & took pictures as guests arrived with my fuji instax camera. EVERYONE loved it & thought it was so much fun to add funny pictures along with personal notes.
(oh ya.. and there was some washi tape in there too, which is always a good thing!)
i LOVE your colors!
