Thank you!  I'm excited add my daughter's wedding photos after the date!

Thank you all for making me feel better about this book since it's for something so special! I used paper from several different packs and some individual sheets from Hobaby Lobaby. I used:

Paper Studio - Black on Black (Hobaby Lobaby)

A few sheets from Recollections paper pad Night Sky (Michaels)

A few sheets from Recollections Club Velvet (Michaels)

A few sheets from Recollections Enchanted Botanica (Michaels)

I bought several individual papers from Hobaby Lobaby in black and gold floral, matte black, textured gold and a few other miscalaneous.

It was a lot but I think they matched pretty well.

I love your design!  It flows so well and love the multiple stamps on the photo mats.  The beads and bee are adorable!  I could go on and on but this is gorgeous! 💜

This looks so awesome! Love your ephemera thought and the layering of papers. It all works so well together!

For me, sometimes the heavier paper feels like it's more sturdy if I don't have to do much bending (which for me seems like it doesn't bend cleanly).  If it will hold pockets or flips, it's nice that it's sturdier.

YBM I love to hear that and can't wait to see the finished product from Shayne!

I've done 3 bee books and I LOVE LOVE LOVE bee paper. Do I dare do another one? Lol🐝🐝

This is so beautiful and elegant! The recipients are so fortunate! Really awesome job! 💜

I use the same methods too! I actually prefer to use art glitter glue or nearly art glue for almost everything inside the book except photo mats and I use the adtech runner for those (but sometimes glue here too).

I find that if I lay the glued paper gently into the book at first, it allows me to slide it perfectly into position - then I use my tools to smooth and burnish for adhesion. I found that tape doesn't give me that adjustment time - I'm just stuck with where it is.

Side note - I have the big scotch taperunner but sitting next to it are two partially unspoiled new rolls of tape leftover from me being totally unable to load it and getty it to work. 🤷

The construction and paper choice! It looks amazing! You've unlocked new ideas in my brain with this use. 😊
