Love is in the air

Hello Friends! I hope you're having a nice start to your week. As I mentioned in my earlier post, my husband and I decided to take the day off yesterday and just hang out together. So, we dropped Paige off at daycare, and we went to the movies! We saw Get on Up - the James Brown biopic. Then we went out to lunch, and gazed in each other's eyes while birdies and butterflies were fluttering overhead! LOL! Just kidding, but it was really nice to spend some time together.

Today, I'm sharing a wedding card that I made for one of the teachers at Paige's school. She got married two weeks ago, and Paige will be going into her toddler room when she turns one, so you know we have to get in the good with the new teacher ;-)

So, this card was easy peasy! Isn't that the cutest little car? Well, I cut it out with my Silhouette Cameo it was a "print and cut" file, so I just printed the car with my printer, then sent it to the Silhouette to be cut - see, easy peasy! That patterned paper is to die for! It's by Authentique and it's so appropriately called "Pretty!" A doily and a decorative edge border punch finish off the card. Paige's soon to be teacher absolutely loved the card and she couldn't believe I made it. I told her I had a blog, and she told me that "I just became even cooler!" How funny is that!

 

Well, I hope the rest of your week is fantastic, and as always, thank you so much for stopping by!

Hello Friends! Are you having a nice weekend? Mine has been very nice, just relaxing with the family. We're expecting thunderstorms today, so it's a great day to be home and watch lots of TV!

The card I'm sharing today was made for a co-worker to give to his friend for her wedding.

When I think of a wedding I immediately think of flowers, so I took that idea and ran with it. I did a big burst of flowers right smack dab in the middle of the card, and then just worked around that. I used a polaroid die cut underneath the flowers and added the Congratulations sentiment. The rest of the card is just patterned paper that I stamped to include more red into the card.

 

Well, I'm going to go jump back on the couch and eat some snacks and hopefully watch a couple of movies. I have Captain Phillips recorded and ready to go! Have a great day!
