Now on to my project!

I am really loving the way my project turned out. I was originally going to just make a card using the "Royal Couple" digi stamp ( this stamp can be found at Pixie Dust Studios)http://www.pixieduststudio.net/category_43/British-Invasion.htm, but then decided to do something different with it.  My daughter Rebecca  who is 9 years old and I have been watching TLC all week long for their "Royal Wedding Week " , of course she was in bed while I stayed up to watch the Royal Wedding take place. My daughter Emma was awake for most of it as she is 1 years old and decided she needed to be awake at that time :)

I wanted to make a book that my daughters could add to over the years. I remember watching a bunch of shows like "Friends" and other shows were the girl has a big wedding book of how she wants her wedding to be like when she does actually get married! :) So I figured I would make one that both my girls could add to.

I decided to use the Royal couple on the front especially since it took place when I was making this book for them. Of course I had colored the image before I watched the wedding so that is why Prince William was colored in with Blue instead of the Red he was wearing for the actual event :) Plus the phrase "Someday My Prince Will Come"  fit perfectly for the image and this book!

I hope they will enjoy adding to it over the years. I added a pocket inside the front and back cover for them to put things in as well.
