Just had to finish it

I couldn't go to bed with this only half done. I used the Sweethearts cartridge that I won in a drawing. I wasn't sure that it would be a cartridge I'd use, but it's really got a lot of cute stuff in it.

The couple are cut at 4 inches; the word "Love" is cut at 3 inches; the single balloon is cut at 2.25 inches. Although it looks like there is a blue gem on the balloon, it's actually clear. I used the shadow cut for everything, then layered the sparkly paper over thick Kraft paper to make the cuts thicker and so they'd pop off the paper better. After I took this picture, I spaced the pearls out a bit more.

I wanted to just do the couple in silhouette instead of trying to do clothing. I'm not sure what color of hair the groom has so this just worked out better for me.

I hope she likes it. I'll be mailing it off this week so I'll report if it was a hit or not.

It's good to be back!

Feels good to be doing something constructive in the playroom! I know someone who is getting married and she's doing the big-time planning. I thought this would be a nice way to help her along the way. It's not finished, but just wanted to post a little tease...



Using my Cricut and some sparkly brown paper for some embellishment

Brown and Pink look so elegant (at least to me)

The brown on pink polka dots are the inside covers. The ribbon is really silky and is pink on one side and brown on the other. I wasn't sure what I'd do with it when I bought it but I just fell in love with the texture.
I don't know what her colors are or even if she needs a journal, but it will either be something she can use or something she can pass on to someone else.
