Wedding Day!

This post is scheduled to show up on Saturday, July 27th, 2013 - My precious daughter's wedding day!  Her colors are Ivory - Firecracker - Tan - Gold and I used some of this same paper in making the table-cards for the wedding reception.  I promise to post wedding photos when I get back; but for now at least, you can see the card I made for Kristen and Brian for their wedding!  Such a perfect couple!

Hugs!

A Whale of a good one!

This darling card was inspired by Aaron Brown.  She is UBER creative and I often steal ideas from her!  I changed mine just slightly - very slightly!  So Aaron gets all the credit here! ;-)

I'm getting better at making paper pleats!  I thought you'd be happy to know that little tid-bit.  Also, I love, love, love the CTMH alcohol markers.  I was one of the few people who didn't jump on the Copic bandwagon and I'm glad I waited.  Now, I just want CTMH to make MORE colors!  *giggle*  

Hope everyone is doing great!  Hugs!!

Hello There!

Hello! I'm sure glad I finally figured out a way to post from my I-pad. It wasn't easy, let me just say that! 

What was easy is this card! I used a new Papertray Ink stamp set that I suspect will be a favorite for many, many things! The paper is from the Close to My Heart Dream Pop pack, it is the backside of a bright card we made at open stamping a couple of months ago.

The sentiment is part of the zip-strip from the papers. It went together in a fraction of the time it's taken me to create this post!  

I'm counting hours now until my flight out to North Carolina. My darling daughter is getting married next Saturday! I'm so excited!!! With any luck I'll be able to post again on the road but if not, know that I'm thinking of you and I promise photos soon! 

Hugs!

A sneaky peek at NEW Close to my Heart stuff!

 

The new Close-to-My-Heart catalog will be available to everyone starting August 1st and there are some pretty wonderful new things in this one!  Wowie!!  This darling little stamp is just one example - wait to you see all the terrific new things!

My daughter is getting married next week - I am so stinkin' excited!!  She and her Beloved are so good together; I am so happy for them both!  I'll try to post on the road, but I do seem to have mixed results with the I-Pad approach to blogspot - not sure why it's so challenging!  

Anyway - enjoy this little peek (the papers were from Dream Pop - the annual Scrapbook special that comes in late Spring!).  Hugs!! 

Weekends are too short!

I have a huge list of cards that need to be completed this weekend and it's Sunday morning already!  Yikes!  This one was a 10 minute (give or take a few) card - I used Dream Pop papers and added a little edge-ink and zipper ribbon (all Close-to-My-Heart products) and voila!  

I awoke before the alarm today!  That is so rare for me I feel like I should shout it from the rooftop!  I feel refreshed and ready for church and then play time later.  I hope your weekend is full and rewarding and that you're also getting your batteries recharged!

Namaste.
