Baby Daniel's 1st Birthday Card

Hi there,

I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful weekend. The weather is just perfect here in California!! I love this spring weather, it's just perfect, not too cold and not too hot! Today I want to share with you all a Birthday card that I made for my cousin's 1 year old son. Today was his birthday party so I created a little card to go with his gift. I just love Mo Manning's images and I especially love her first Birthday serious, they are just perfect for the occasion.

As a side note, I added Diamond Glaze to the balloons to give them a 3-D affect and make them look like real balloons.

Enjoy!!!

I hope you enjoyed my card, now here are some pictures from today celebration!

A picture of the main table with the cake and the Birthday boys super cute photo!

And here are Baby Daniel's lil feet before getting washed, I had to get his little feetsies all caked up, I thought it was too cute!!

ISS Wedding Week Day 5 - Lee and Miela

Happy Friday!!!

Hurray for the weekend!!! Today is Day 5 of Wedding Week over at the InStyle Stamps Blog. Today we are introducing Lee and Meila, the bride and groom couple. They are so cute!! I had a blast playing with them. They will be available for sale in the store as soon as the redesign is complete.

I'm not sure if it's my computer screen or what but these pictures look a lot better on my camera screen, hopefully they look good on your end. Never the less, Meila's bouquet and veil is embellished with Lavender Flower Soft, I wanted to add some dimension to her bouquet and veil, and I thought Flower Soft would be the perfect touch. I also colored her dress in with Butter Cream Shimmerz.

Enjoy!!!

I hope you guys enjoyed my card. Now I am off to get things ready for the real wedding that I will be attending tomorrow. Maybe I will have some pictures to share with you. I know for sure I will have pictures of my boyfriends almost 2 year old nephew who is in the wedding, but I'm not sure what else I will get.

Bridal Shower Invitations

Hello there,

So here is the last invitation sample that I put together for my friend. This time I, again, used the damask stamp but I stamped it on the sides instead of the corners. I thought I would try something different but it wasn't one of my favorites out of the the three invitations that I made.

What do you think? If you had to chose which one out of the three would you choose??

To make each invitation, which includes the Invitation and the RSVP, pictured above, and an envelope it again costs approximately $2.50. I think going with home made invitations is such a great deal? Some of those creators out there just rip you off, so do them at home, it really isn't that bad!!

Enjoy!!!

Bridal Shower Invitations

Hi there,

I hope you are all doing well!! Today  I want to share with you all a few sample bridal shower invitations that I have been putting together for a good friend. She asked me to create some for her friends shower in May. She left it all to me, she did give me an invitation sample that she liked and I kind of went from there. She also wanted the colors pink and green which I believe are also the wedding colors.

Here is the first sample that I put together and in the next two days I will post the next two that I created as samples for her.

Enjoy!!!
