Wedding Book

Happy Earth Day Everyone!

My cousin Zanya was just married to a wonderful man named Dominic and I made this Wedding Book for them to place all their wedding memories in.  I used my favorite Kreaxion punches from Just Imagine and I am going to show you the steps for those parts. If you want to know more about the parts of the book not discussed in this post feel free to ask in the comments and I will be more than happy help where I can.
