Ben Loves Jocelyn

A high school friend of mine has a daughter who is getting married Memorial Day Weekend.  This is the invitation Ben & Jocelyn commissioned me to make.  The couple met at a county fair while in 4-H so they are celebrating their special day with a “State Fair” themed event.  I finished the invitations last month and the past few days I’ve been busy with alterations for her wedding gown as well as a few prom dresses.  It’s been fun, but I need to get back into my stamp room and be creative with stamps and ink.
 

Blooper Warningr: Chevron Overload!

There’s a lot going on with this card.  It’s one I designed for my Silver & Gold card class but it didn’t make the cut.  As I said before, I love the Foil papers embossed, it just looks so impressive, so this time I used the Chevron embossing folder.  Then I thought how we all like things that coordinate, so I got out Positively Chevron background stamp and went to town with that.  Right there is when I should have just scrapped it all, but no, I kept going and added some silver bakers twine and a dahlia embellishment.  Really?  Sometimes you just have to know when to toss in the towel. 
 
What are some of your blooper cards?  Email me a photo and who knows I just may post it.
 
 

Early Christmas?

I know I’ve been complaining about it taking so very long for spring to arrive this year and now I go and post a picture of a Christmas card and it’s a full 8 months until Christmas.  Sorry but when I was designing cards for my Silver & Gold class I just had to make a silver and blue card for Christmas.  I think embossing the Silver Foil paper makes for such a stunning effect.  I also love the oval fame look of the card as the tree is actually stamped on the inside of the card.
