Tote-ally Tess

Happy Tuesday peeps!

I just wanted to show you the birthday RAK I sent to my friend Teri in Hawaii. I thought this stamp set from SU would be perfect for her & I love how it turned out (I've been saying that a lot lately, haven't I?...oh well!)! I included some goodies & gifts that I wanted her to have from New England & she loved them. The die that I used for the bag/box is from SU but I don't recall the name of it & I'm not home to look it up. If I remember I'll add it to this post when I get home & WHEN the power is turned back on. I thought I would post this today before I start posting masculine cards.

I'm hoping we get our power back sometime today so I can get back to a normal routine again & get back to my craft room. Also I have so much laundry to do when I get home... I wish I would have thought to do it before the hurricane. Wasn't thinking. Oh well, that's it for today. Thanks so much for dropping in & spending a little part of your day with me...you know how much I enjoy your company!

Tote-ally Tess is the perfect stamp set to use for those card maker/scrap booking friends in your life.



This is a fantastic bag/box to fill with goodies or to put a small gift in.


Have a great day everyone!

Elegant Bridal Shower Card

Hi peeps!

Thank you all for your emails asking if we were all right & if we survived Irene...yes we did, but we have NO power & won't have it back for a few days or maybe even longer. Time will tell, we are at my son's house in Rhode Island, they have power here. I will be spending a day or two here & hope that our power will return by Wednesday...we can only hope! Dan might be going home tonight if he has to work tomorrow but I will be staying here. Irene turned into a tropical storm for us but the wind gusts were really bad, no trees down on our property, just lots of leaves & tree branches to clean up when we get home. Some areas did not fare well & had a lot of damage, so we were very fortunate.

Today's card is the last of the bridal shower cards & this one is my favorite! I love how it turned out. This is the Hanna bridal stamp set which is no longer available. She is such a beautiful & elegant bride, she's my favorite bridal stamp & I love using the full bride image on the inside of these cards. I changed it up a bit by using crystals on one card & pearls on the other one, I also changed the hair color on each bride. Hope you enjoy these.

Coming up next will be masculine cards, if you need some inspiration stop by, you won't be sorry...I promise!

Have a great day & thanks for stopping by! I luv you guys!

Bridal Party Bella's

Hi peeps!

Today's card is with an image from Stamping Bella, Bridal Party Bella is so cute & you can color it to match the bride's colors of her bridal party gowns. I did one card with pink gowns & one in light green gowns. I also added some dazzling diamonds to give the bride's gown some added sparkle...I love it & it looks awesome in person.

Well Irene is expected to hit Massachusetts tomorrow & we are as ready as we can be...we are hoping it will weaken by the time it gets to us but it all depends on the course she takes, it's possible she could get stronger but time will tell. Right now, North Carolina is getting pelted. I hope & pray people will take heed & listen to our officials & evacuate if they ask you to, your life is worth more than your homes.

Well that's it for today, I should be back on Monday. Take care & have a great weekend...that's to all my other friends around the world who are not affected by this storm. Thanks for stopping by & visiting me today.






Be prepared & stay safe east coast friends! Let's all hope we get through the worst of Irene with little damage & no loss of human lives. God Bless us all!

Wedding Gown Bridal Shower Cards

Happy hump day peeps!

Today I have batch #2 of bridal shower cards. I did one in pink & 1 in blue. I did the double embossing on this card design, used the dots embossing folder & an oval nestie die to get the look, (I couldn't remember how to do it so after 2 tries & failing...I decided I need to find that tutorial again) as they say 3rd times a charm & it all worked out in the end. ;0)

Well as you all might have heard by now we had an earthquake here on the east coast but as usual I didn't feel it. My friend Sandi & I (hi Sandi, I had a great time with my BFF) were in route from TGIFriday's after a great lunch, heading back to my house when it hit...so we were on the move & didn't feel a thing. As soon as I walked in the house, Dan called to ask if we felt it. He didn't feel it either, he said the girls in the upstairs offices felt it but no one downstairs did. I guess it was pretty scary for some people, I've never experienced it, I seem to miss out on all the excitement...story of my life. The joke going around here is that the founding fathers decided to ALL roll over in their graves at the same time to let Washington know that they are making a mess of this country & they are NOT amused, so they wanted to wake all the politicians up & knock some sense into them. Well all kidding aside, maybe it was a good thing that I didn't feel it 'cause I might have freaked out, I don't know what I would have done.







Enjoy your day & thanks for stopping by!

Bridal Shower Cards

Good morning peeps!

Just wanted to pop in to show you the first of the bridal shower cards for this week. This is a gate fold card that I decided to make in Pink & Purple. The bride's dress & vail have some sparkle to it but I couldn't capture it on camera. I hope you like these.

I have a friend coming over today that I haven't seen for awhile, we're going to catch up on things & go out for lunch. Just a hang out kind of day. Got to go get ready. Hope you all enjoy your day...looks like it's going to be a beautiful one here in New England!
