Holiday Birthdays

Okay dont go have a heart attack or anything...Yes I am posting a second post in November!

Yesterday I decided to do the Featured Stamper Challenge on SplitCoastStampers. I havent posted a challenge in a while , and CarrollAnne is a friend of mine. I came up with this little beauty based on this CARD in her Gallery!

Since I have 3 friends I have lunch with in December, all celebrating their Birthdays. ((I am the odd Woman out,only because mine falls in October....I was born a few months early...;).))

I made 2 more cards this morning using the same theme. I like it so much I might make a few more using the Holiday Greetings stamp from Sincere Salutations also.

I used the QuiKutz Retro Diamond A2 Embossing folder, GP White Card stock, Celery Grosgrain Ribbon, MS Bough Branch Punch, SU Autumn Days, SU Sincere Salutations, Red Gem stones, and EK 1/16"Dimensionals.

Until Later...Happy Stamping!

Wedding Things & (Baby Quilt....shh)

Hello,

I just thought I should make a post and let you all know I am doing well, I managed to stay well this month but I have been very busy working on and getting things done for my DD's Wedding.

The Boutonniers', Corsages, and Bouquet done. My younger Dd's think I need to do flowers for them, so I might have to make a few more corsages...I am so thnkful for my firend Colleen , who has helped me get these floral things done for the last two years.

The announcements are finished and mailed...these took hours to make and put together..My Dh punched out all the MS branches for me all 642 of them. My SIL helped me put the black covers on and tehn the oval Medallions the next week. Two trips to my house ...thanks Sheila. My DD#5 helped edit the photo for the return address label. it was printed too small to really appreciate so I thought I would uploaded it here. Then it could get fully appreciated.

We are still inthe process of editting photos to Black and White with a touch of Red for the table top centerpieces. I did finish making all 15 of the runners and buying the supplies for the Centerpieces. The fabric behind this picture is the fabric being used for the center pieces. I wrapped two of the blocks of wood cut for last years wedding with black gift wrap and I am using them for the centerpieces. I am borrowing mirrors from my friend so they aren't in the picture. This is just a rough up of them so I could show DD#1 what I had come up with.

I also designed a monogram that couldnt be used so I had to design the name medallion I used for the invites

It took several hours to perfect these, but I just tried to upload them but the file type won't upload.

Lastly...We purchased dresses but they are Black and White, Homecoming clearance..I got a great deal on 5 dresses, but DD#7, said I couldnt post pictures of her in it because she wasn't dressed up so I have to wait until after the bug day, she did say however I could post the pictures of the Shoes! So happy I am not wearing red shoes.

Hopefully, soon I will have more time to post the cards I have been making...

Lastly I have been workingon a gift for my New Grandson being born this coming month. I only feel safe posting it because my DD never checks my craft blog...Hopefully that is still the case. I am just going to upload some detail pictures and not the full thing.

Until Later...Happy Stamping!
