Wedding Album// Gift to J&N

(This photo belongs to J&N)

This past weekend I went to summer camp. I never went to summer camp as a kid and even though I was not there for summer camp, but for a wedding I am guessing this is what summer camp would feel like. My very good friends J&N got married at a real summer camp!!! We stayed in cabins, sang around a campfire, danced until the sun came up, laughed and had the best time. I am so lucky to have the friends I have and my heart is filled with love.

For their wedding shower we were asked to make album page and because I love art journaling, I decided to go that route. For about 2 weeks, I researched love songs and bugged my friends about love songs they liked. My plan was to make them a mixed tape of love songs and somehow hid it on the album page. I wanted both sides of the album page to represent love and somehow have a feel that was J&N. If you ever get a chance to meet these two lovely people, you will see from the start how much they love one another.

For the front side, I went with the theme “SEA” because I had this lovely photo of them on their boat. One of my favorite songs by Tom Waits (I know that he is not the original writer if this song) is “Sea of Love.” There is something so beautiful about this song with his voice.

Come with me my love
To the sea
The sea of love
I want to tell you
How much I love you

Do you remember
When we met?
That's the day I knew you were my pet
I want to tell you
How much I love you

For the backside, I went with the theme “dance” because I was making them a mixed tape and I came across this “Bella” by Angus and Julia Stone. I was so excited that they had a photo dancing because it fit so perfect with the theme if this page.

So you took her hand and she gave a look that sent you to the moon
And there you spoke the words of a gentleman
Can I have this dance with you
Can I share this dance with you
