Week 23 (catchup): Love is in the Air

Long time no post! Summer has been busy for me thus far. All my time away from home has not allowed me to craft as much as I'd like. I have a few cards that I haven't posted yet so you can look forward to those soon.

This weekend my brother is getting married to the love of his life. The wedding colours are inspired by the Seattle Seahawks thus this fun card. The colours also happen to match the Sparkle N Sprinkle Challenge perfectly. 

The idea for the flap that opens came from a card one of my girlfriends got at her bridal shower. Its not quite as cute as I had hoped but definitely a little different than your average card. The stamp is from the Old Island Stamp Co. I love these love birds! 

Challenges:

• Sparkle N Sprinkle - Color Challenge
• Crafts 4 Eternity - Here Comes the Bride

Week 20: Bridal Bliss

Wedding Season has started again and this year I am more than a mere spectator. I have officially started planning my own wedding about one month ago. However, my wedding is not for about a year and a half so I have lots of time to think about it... 

In the mean time, we have a couple weddings this year for close family and friends. I must say I love weddings. When else do you get to go to a huge party that celebrates love and meet all the people that are special to that couple. I can't imagine a more perfect idea! This week's card (or should I say last week's card) was for my sister-in-law. She had her bridal shower this past weekend. Unfortunately I was unable to attend as I was out of town for the Victoria Day long weekend here in Canada. 

This stamp I have used a bunch of times but it is one of my absolute favourites. Happy Couple by Stampendous is so simple but timeless. I love using patterned paper as my inspiration for the colours in a card (much like my wardrobe). The bride is using navy blue and lime green. This pattern is the closest that I had. If you look REALLY close, the scrolls are lime green.

Here Comes the Bride

Wow! Long time no post. Sorry for the lack of posts but it has not been due to lack of crafting. We have had three weddings (one still to come in Maui) within a very short period of time. At least I have been able to "research" for our own wedding. Anyway, The inspiration for the layout of the wedding cards is from Mojo Monday, however I did not post them on the site because we have been away for some of these wedding.

Another Menu Board for a bridal shower I attended recently. To see how to make one check it out here.

Stamp = "Happy Couple" by Stampendous

Red Paper = DCWV Bright Cardstock Stack

Patterned Paper = Recollections

Black Glittered Paper = Recollections Precious Metals

I found this stamp in the $1.50 bin at Michaels. I think it was a mistake but it was good for me.

Stamp = Wedding Cake by Inkadinkado

Not too bad! I have already completed one more but the wedding is still coming up in two weeks. I will blog then.

Happy Crafting!!
