Christi's Creative Crew: A December Wedding

Last week we attended the wedding of my "Birthday Buddy", Kaitlyn, and this is the card that I made for Zane and Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn has always been special to me because we share a birthday. I was her leader in the Girls Club at church and she was about 10 years old when we found out we shared a special day. So it really was a privilege to not only attend her wedding but to be asked to make her cake. Originally they thought they would decorate in the blues and snowflakes so I made this card using Snowflake Soiree and Baroque Motifs inspired by Meghan Nishi (I had to computer generate the greeting), I think it turned out very elegant. I also made some just like this and stamped Merry Christmas on the bottom.

Whisper White Embossing Powder and Versa Mark to make the snowflakes
Sponging colors are: Midnight Muse and Baja Breeze
Midnight Muse for the scrolling stamp from Baroque Motifs (retired, but on the clearance rack while supplies last) #113490 Catalog price was $27.95, you can get it for only $16.79

Want to see the cake? The Tiger Lilies on the cake were in memory of the grooms mother who passed away a couple years ago.

I am blessed to have a supportive and helpful hubby. I have been struggling with shoulder issues so he cranked out 4 batches of frosting for me before he left for work in the morning. I could not have done it without him, and then once we arrived he helped me to set it all up.

The wedding was beautiful, held in a refurbished older building. Take a look at this beautiful ceiling

The lighting was programed to change colors throughout the night which was beautiful for the wedding setting but horrible for those of us who took pictures.

They had goldfish in the centerpieces as part of an I SPY game because the newlyweds went on a Daytona Beach honeymoon. Gifts for the bride and groom went beneath a beautiful Christmas Tree.
