Wedding Couple

Good morning everyone!

Well here is the wedding card that my friend asked me to make for her son's upcoming wedding next month. She wanted the Whiff of Joy wedding couple in the horse drawn carriage. I added flower soft to the flowers & it's beautiful in person.

Have a great day & thanks for stopping by & visiting me, I sure do appreciate it.






Made an extra one to keep for my stash.




Happy stampin' peeps!

Ahhhhh...The Wonders of Motherhood!

Good morning Peeps!

Today's card design I found on Dawn Griffith's blog & she has a video tutorial on how to make it, click on her name to view video...Go on give it a try, it's awesome! This design is called a "Tunnel card".

I LOVE this Whiff of Joy stamp & she's called "Pregnant Willow" & I also used "Rose Swing". I bought these two stamps together (along with a sitting bride Willow stamp) because it appears that she is sitting. Whenever I stamp her for a card I look at her & wonder what is she thinking? Do you remember when you were pregnant for the first time & all the thoughts that went through your mind? Leave me a comment and let me know. I remember thinking...is the baby going to be healthy, am I going to be a good mother, will I have a girl or a boy & I loved feeling the baby move & kick. Those were just a few normal thoughts everyone of us think about when we are pregnant.

I made a few pregnant cards for baby showers that I needed to sell at the salon...so stay tuned for more. OMGosh speaking of babies....it's only 17 more days before our granddaughter is born!!! We are ALL so excited & can't wait to meet her.

Have a great Sunday & thanks for stopping by & visiting me today!

Whiff of Joy Wedding Cards

Hello peeps!

Here is the last of the wedding cards before moving on to bridal shower cards this coming week. Hope you like them.


I just can't get enough of this Whiff of Joy wedding carriage stamp...I love it! It's my go to stamp for wedding cards. I added some flower soft to the carriage flowers & it looks awesome. Yep, I still have paper & ribbon leftover from my son's wedding (almost 2 years now..wow) & I'm trying to use it all up, so until I do these cards will look alike for awhile. I try to change it up a bit. Now each card has a different label die, that's the only difference, oh yeah & the hair on each couple is different too.










Have a great Sunday everyone. Toodles!

A Penny for your Thoughts...

Good morning all,

Hope you had a great Easter, mine was fabulous! Any time I get to spend with my kids is always a joy! I get to see them again Saturday for my birthday celebration, their taking me to Boston for some fun activities!!! I can't wait...wow 2 weeks in a row to spend time with the kids that's a gift I always treasure!

Anyway, onto my card. Jessica's best friend Sarah is having a baby in August & I wanted to send her & Troy a congratulations card. I saw these Whiff of Joy images last year & just had to get them along with the wedding images I bought, hehehe...I was thinking ahead! I also have the one with Willow holding her baby & will probably use that one after Sarah brings her newborn home. These images are so precious, I love them! I look at this image & wonder what is she thinking? Is she thinking about what kind of mother she will be or if her baby will be healthy or smart? Didn't we all go through the same thing when we were pregnant, so many thoughts go through our minds. What do you think she is thinking of as she sits on the swing?

It's a beautiful day here in New England, right now hubby is working in the yard for awhile & then we are going to go & enjoy this fabulous day! Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!

Wedding Card

I'm soooo excited, I just love how this card turned out...it's so pretty! I wanted to try out my flower soft & this was the perfect card for it...what do you think???
I've made this card before for my son's wedding but I didn't have the flower soft & I think it added just that extra bit of WOW factor to this already beautiful image.
Hope you like it as much as I do, the picture just doesn't do it justice.

By the way I found a video of that stamp store in Vegas if you want to see it click HERE...isn't it Awesome? I can't wait to go see it. Whenever your in Vegas go take a look.

Well that's it for today folks. Have a good one!

Tri Shutter Card

Hello people!

Well I finally tried my hand at making a tri-shutter card & I'm happy to say that I love the way it came out! The only thing that I would do different is put pearls on the body of the Cameo Coral butterflies to make it look even prettier. I don't think it's bad for my first try, what do you think? I always make Jessica's best friend & her hubby a birthday card every year & they really look forward to it. They never know what they will be getting in the mail but they love the surprise when they open that envelope & know that the card is from me. I love making cards & projects for people who can appreciate a handmade item, it really makes my day! The reward for me is seeing their smile or hearing it in their voice when they call me to say they loved it!

That's all the posts I have for this week & won't be making anything else this week. I will be working on my wedding program folders for my niece's wedding which is in April so I need to work, work, work! I hope to have something for you next week.

Well gotta run but thanks so much for stopping by & have a great day!
