50th Anniversary

Happy Monday Morning! Today is a long posting so get your coffee ready. I am sharing my parents 50th Anniversary celebration. My Dad, as he said "I don't want a Circus" so we kept it small. We set up chairs, alter and tables in my back yard, which made it intimate and perfect. 

Here is a photo of the front and back of the invite.
This was kind of a last minute celebration I ordered
the invites and didn't realize the photo paper was so
flimsy. Fortunately, I had gold CS to add a backing to
the photo. It was a good thing because  I didn't put my
 parents name on the invite.😆(Oh Dear) They
turned out okay in the end.    

I decorated a basket by spray painting it white,
adding jeweled lace and flowers to it. We filled it
with white rose petals and had my niece walk down
the isle in front of my Mom. I added glitter
and flowers to decorate the wine glasses. 

I made napkin holders to help add color to
 the tables. I embossed the outside square and
 added the ribbon. Using die cuts I made the
 "50th" embellishment and added it to
the center.

I wanted some kind of an alter for my parents
to renew their vows. I ordered this arch on line.
Boy you get what you pay for. It was very
flimsy so we had to tie it down with fishing line. 

After adding sheer material and flowers
I think it came out really nice. 

This is a picture before the ceremony of
my Parents.

Thank you for sharing your time with me while I share my family with you. God Bless

Nail Polish

Happy Monday!  Today I am sharing a birthday card I made for a preteen. Preteens are hard to shop for and to make a card for. They don't want little girl things and they are not old enough for teenager stuff. I finally decided on a nail polish themed card. I searched Pinterest and found several cards and techniques and decided on this one. 

Using the Stampin Up Owl punch
 and the Label Punch I made the
nail polish bottles. I purchased nail
polish as part of her gift, so I tried
to use the same colors of the purchased
polish. Of course I didn't have the colors
I needed...haha we never do right?

You can't tell by the picture but I used
a liquid glass and acetate over the
punched colored card stock. I cut the
acetate a bit larger than the CS to make
it look like a bottle. 

This was a fun card to make.

You all have a super great week and Happy Stamping!

happy birthday

Happy Monday! Hope your having a wonderful day. I've been a busy little bee in my world. My parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary and they exchanged vows in my backyard. I'll share some pictures with you on another post.  Today I'm sharing some birthday cards I made for some of the men in my life. 

I used the same die cut and birthday stamp
and just changed it up four different ways. 

Just realized I only put two balloons on the
card on the right...haha

I didn't stamp anything on the inside yet.
Sometimes I leave them blank until I'm ready
to send them.

Thanks for stopping by today. You have a super great week!

Hope your day is a Happy Face Kind

Happy September Monday! How is everyone doing? I'm sure school has started for most of you and the weather is changing. I'm looking forward to the cool weather and the Fall season. I made some cards for my TOPS group. (Take Pounds Off Sensibly)  It's always fun to receive a card in the mail and I like to send a bit of encouragement to them.

I used Memory Box "Delicate Butterfly Arch" with
Heartfelt butterfly dies. 

I added glitter behind the arch to
make it really sparkle.

Hope your day is the Happy Face kind of day!
