Miss Me?

I missed me! I was shocked to see how long it had been since I uploaded a card. It is NOT that I have been idle! Like most of you this is a busy time of the year. I have kept up with all of my commitments with a few extras thrown in. Our second youngest son is getting married in 2 weeks in our back yard! I made the invitations and sent them out and am planning the wedding with help from wonderful family and friends. My son and his soon-to-be wife live in Alaska and we are in Florida. We are flying them down so that the rest of the family can celebrate with them. Here is the invitation:

Yup - you guessed it, it is a western kind of wedding. Fun and a challenge for me. It is coming together and now we just pray for good Florida weather! I do have another post coming with another few cards that I made this past week. So don't give up on me - I miss stamping time! And I will be back!

Wedding Card

My nephew is getting married in March. They are having an Irish themed wedding so I had to go with the green. On an earlier post I had the invitations that I made (200) and the bridal shower card I made for this wedding. For this card I used a different shade of green (Wild Wasabi) and the "With this Ring" stamp set from Rupa. The DP is Afternoon Tea from SU. I also used the Mother of Pearl card stock from GinaK and found it a real challenge to color on and to stamp. It took 3 tries to get it so that I did not smudge it. This is also for the StampTV sketch challenge that Jennie posts. It was a great sketch and a fun card to make. Thanks for the visit!

 

Wedding Invitation

I have been asked to post a picture of the wedding invitations that I made (with help) for my nephew and his bride to be. They are Irish and wanted the green to come through loud and clear. She also wanted some gold and swirls. This was the card that was made - they loved it! This past weekend was the bridal shower so I made a card loosely based on the theme but more for just her. Here are both cards.
