La Vie En Rose Anniversary Layout

La Vie En Rose is a striking paper pack for a special occasion.  My husband and I are celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary this June, so I thought I would get a head start on my scrapbooking pages with this pretty paper.  I also used the January Stamp of the Month, Beloved Bouquet for the stamped sentiments.  It's also a great stamp set for Valentine's Day cards and pages and only $5 with any $50 purchase from my CTMH website.



To create the page, I used a sheet of the White Daisy Cardstock from the La Vie En Rose paper pack as my base.  The black and white strips at the top and bottom of the page are both   1 1/2" wide.  I used the gold shimmer trim, but set the paper pieces overlapping the shimmer trim so that the trim was only showing about 1/4".  The rose patterened B&T paper is cut at 2 1/2" at the bottom and matted on a 2 3/4" wide black strip.  The rose patterened B&T paper at the top is 1/2" and matted on a 3/4" wide black strip.  The photo openings are 4" x 6" and then matted on 4 1/4 x 6 1/4 black cardstock.  The bottom patterened piece is 4 3/4" x 6 3/4".

I used the La Vie En Rose Complements for the sticker at the bottom and three gold puffy hearts are from the Treasured Puffies from the new Seasonal Expressions catalog.  I cut the title with the Cricut using the Artfully Sent font set to 1.25".

I stamped the "Love You!" sentiment directly on the page and the other sentiment I stamped on a Daisy White cardstock then trimmed the cardstock close to the sentiment and notched the corners with a hole punch (just nipping the corners with it) and mounted it on black cardstock. 
Change the title or sentiments and you have a pretty page for prom, Valentine's Day or any occasion with a special someone!
