Matrimonial Memories

 Susan Wood

Some are magnificent works of architecture, some are small and some have just always been there, but when it comes to churches as venues for a wedding so many folk favour them. The word church comes directly from the Greek ekklesia meaning assembly, and no assembly is so grand than a wedding assembly.

 

When scrapping wedding photos, a great start for an album whether digital or paper could be a beautifully scrapped page of the church. From the grandest church such as West Minster Abbey (which incidentally is a church not a cathedral) to the more humble country chapel, you have to admit they make a pretty backdrop to your sacred ceremony. When planning your wedding photography get the photographer to take a shot of just the church, as a preface to your album. If you theme your pages then with the shapes from the venue and the colors of your wedding party you can harmonize the whole album beautifully.

 

 

Designer Notes: I saw this picture of this church Westminster Abbey, on Terragalleria.com by Q.T Luong and loved the picture so I decided I would make a scrapbook page of it. I choose to make the background very simple using pse 5.0 using a preloaded texture for the background; the corner filigree was created using a brush from free Downloadable brushes called Fancy borders by Scully7491 from http://www.deviantart.com I then added a layer style to it to make it like silver filigree.

Church in the UK by Carol Kamara. Supplies: CJS scrapbooking with an attitude.

 

 

 

Designer Notes: This is our local village church - shares a priest with another couple of villages!! Built originally in the 12th century and altered in 13th and 15th. Next to the "junior" school and the Mairie - village admin centre.

Journaling:

St. Rosa Catholic Church. The Boeckermann family was true to their church and worshiped there ever Sunday. Earl was raised in this church as was his mother and father (Joyce and Francis). Earl did not feel comfortable worshiping in other catholic churches and remained Faithful even thru his years in the military to St. Rosa.

St. Rosa by Michelle Boeckermann. Supplies: Paper: Crate, Button: My Minds Eye, Other: Mesh ribbon and Abigail font.
