We're starting off the hop right here and I'm excited to share the amazing Ruby Rock-It products alongside our Ai Stamps in Project Life format!

I'm featuring the At Last collection from the Ruby Rock-It summer wedding release. I not only loved the colors and patterns, but they matched perfectly with a wedding I was a bridesmaid in a couple months ago. My very dear friend and college roommate was wed in June and the tones and accents of this line perfectly paired with her rustic theme and summery colors.

I loved all the die cut embellishments from this line, especially that they are all double-sided, so I could pick and choose the perfect sentiments or designs to coordinate.

"At Last" is also perfect for this amazing couple, as they got married after NINE years of dating. You can imagine they had a large, beautiful wedding surrounded by so many friends and family.

I also had fun adding in some of our stamps. I used our Wedding Day script as a photo overlay and used our Heart Background for an added touch to one of the cards. 

We'd love to hear you feedback! Are you a PL-er? Do you love this style of memory-keeping? Leave us a comment below!
