I used Dusk by Retro Designs for this layout. The kit had a beautiful cameo and I saw that my grandmother had a cameo at her waist, so it was perfect. The kit is available here: http://www.deco-pages.com/product.ph...t=0&page=1
Wow! What an exquisite layout. Love the soft edged portion of the photo which is perfect in Helen's wonderful Dusk kit. As you say, everything so well matched.

Fabulous.
I love the vintage typewriter font. It so suits the era.
This kit is superb and it really does justice to your photo.

What a stunning photo this is, Julie. The dress is beautiful and the frame you´ve used goes so well with it. And I love how you´ve replicated the cameo the bride is wearing. You´ve created a wonderful page and the symmetry of the design gives it an appropriate formal look. A lovely addition to your family scrapbook.
