My Pink Stamper - Layouts!

So this week, My Pink Designers are supposed to create layouts... Well I don't know how long you have been following my blog, but I have only done one layout and that was for a challenge. I am not a scrapbooker by nature. I LOVE to send my work in the mail to someone else. So this really was a challenge for me. 

Thankfully, someone who follows my blog had asked me to make a series of layouts for her since she liked my style. I agreed and she has been so much fun to work with! 

I feel such a great responsibility because they are the layouts surrounding her wedding. This one that I decided to do for this challenge was for her husband's bachelor party. I am trying to challenge myself to do more manly cards (and apparently layouts) so off I went and I am so thrilled that she loves it! :) The pictures are blurred for her privacy. 

I looked through my stamps and thought that "NOTE-ABLE" from Music Speaks™ was a perfect fit! So I put it right in the middle of the photos.
