Bridal Shower Card and Open House Reminder

You can tell I've been extra busy when I miss a day of blogging.
Today I will show you the third Bridal Shower Card that I was asked to make.
The theme for this shower revolved around the honeymoon destination.  Maybe you can guess by how I made the card...

So thankful that I have dear friends who will let me use their Cricut Machine when I come up with ideas I cannot create with my stamps.  Also very thankful that I did not get rid of this retired Designer Paper from 2 years ago (or so).

Now here is a reminder to you all for my NEW CATALOG OPEN HOUSE

WHEN: Friday, June 19, 6-9pm or Saturday, June 20, 10am-2pm

There will be:

• Door prize drawings
• Demonstrations
• Make and Takes

Special Order Bridal Shower Card #2

Just wanted to give you all a heads up on the WEEKLY DEALS for June 9-15

The second Bridal Shower Card that I was asked to make was for a Bridal Shower with the theme "baking"/"cooking".

I used a followed a punch art by Bonnie Montford but changed it up to make it a girl chef, and I am not sure what punch she used for the hat but I chose to use the Scalloped Oval Punch.  Since hers was a purchasable tutorial I will not show the punch art board I made, but I was able to just view the photo and figure out what she used.  I can say that I used the Owl Builder Punch for her hair because that is something I came up with.
I hope you like it!

Special Order #2

A Bridal Shower card: Special Order

I'm always glad to take special orders for friends.  I used the same pattern I used for Anna's Bridal Shower Card, but I just changed up the colors to match the wedding colors

I used a retired Specialty Paper because my NEW Specialty Paper has not arrived yet.  I am so happy that Stampin' Up! is giving us some pre-embossed paper that we can make any color we want.  The new paper is called COLOR ME IRRESISTIBLE 

Pick a pack of patterned paper! So many designs, so many colors, so many uses! Each colored sheet has subtle embossing. Color the white sides to make patterns pop! Single-sided. 

* 12 sheets: 6 sheets white, 6 sheets other colors (1 of each coordinating color listed below)
* 12" x 12" 
* Acid free
* Lignin free
Coordinating colors: Black, Cucumber Crush, Delightful Dijon, Mint Macaron, Tip Top Taupe, Watermelon Wonder, Whisper White

I can't wait for mine to arrive!! You will be able to see it at the NEW Catalog Open House on Friday June 19, 6-9pm or Saturday, June 20, 10am-2pm.  Come to see some of the new products.  There will be Make & Takes, demonstrations, snacks, Door Prize Drawings, and a Buy 1 Get 1 Sale going on. Hope to see you then.

Special Order!!

My friend is a great one for stretching the imagination when it comes to cards and crafty ideas.  She is attending Medical training classes and will graduate later this year.  She completed another level and wanted to thank the teachers for their patience in teaching her to draw blood.
She saw my pencils made with Rolos chocolate candy (FYI - I couldn't find a photo of my Rolo Pencils so this is a photo of the ones Carla made for our craft sale in May)

and she wanted to make Syringes using the same technique.  This is what we came up with...

Her teachers loved them!!
She also wanted gifts for some others who were instrumental in helping her.  This time Dale made up 3 of his small vanilla candles and I printed on, and stamped on the tissue paper to  melt into the side of the candles

Baptism

We are so excited to share this wonderful news with you all... Tyler, whom I have been featuring on my blog for the past 13 weeks because of his 13th birthday last Sunday, was baptized.  We are so thankful that he is walking in obedience to be baptized, declaring his love for Jesus and his desire to serve Him.
It was hard to get pictures at their church.  They show it on an overhead screen which was perfect, but it still was not easy to photograph, but this is one that Julie's friend took as he walked into the waters of baptism.

Tyler looks so good when he wears gray and yellow so I thought that I would use my designer paper to coordinate with that color theme. This card was inspired by Melissa Davies

One of my friends asked me to make a baptism card for her to give her friend that was being baptized as well, so this is the one that I made for her.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing in our joy!

Sweet Saturday

These are the 2 cakes that I made for Kelly's graduation open house last Sunday.  She graduated from Hudsonville High School with the school colors Maize and Blue and is heading to Michigan State University with the colors Green and White.  I'm sure they will be thrilled to finally be wearing the "right" colors. It was always our joke with them because we are Michigan fans with the Maize and Blue colors.

I will share more on a Sentimental Sunday Post
