Love Is In The Air!

Ready for another challenge?

All Dressed Up is having another fabulous challenge.

The theme for this great challenge is Stitching -Real of Faux.

 

Ok, so I'm not the best with stitching, but I did have fun with this one.

 

I got to use this fabulous All Dressed Up image "Love Is In The Air".

 

 

 

Along with the "Love Is In The Air" stamp I used, I added

2 hearts from the "I Love To Dance" stamp.

 

I used some really cute paper from Echo Park's

 "A Perfect Summer" 6x6 stack.

These are some of my favorite colors.

But truthfully, I really love ALL colors!

 

I added some of my favorite lace and some pretty glittery purple ribbon.

And of course, I added some gorgeous white and purple flowers.

 

The finishing touch was the faux stitching. 

I wanted to use the same stitching design that was on the hot air balloon.

However, I wanted to make the stitching bigger to draw attention

and be more like a frame for the hot air balloons.

 

I hope that will join us over at All Dressed Up stamps for this great challenge.

It'll be a lot of fun!

Happy Anniversary

Ok, among all my weddings this year,

I just celebrated my 25th anniversary.

 

I made my husband a card using a cute little Lacy Sunshine stamp.

 

I used one of my favorite color combinations for his card...black & pink.

I know, I know...I have a lot of favorite color combinations.

I just really love all the colors! I think they are all my favorites.

 

 

I used some really cute chalkboard paper and some

rosy papers from Maja Designs.

I used the pink roses paper because he bought me gorgeous pink roses

2 days early for our anniversary.  He said that way I could enjoy them longer.

 

Since my husband likes the simpler cards, I kept it clean and simple.

Wedded Bliss

I have a lot of weddings to go to this year.

So, I made another wedding card.

 

 

 

I used these 2 great bride and groom images from Bugaboo stamps.

Used some pretty pink and ivory paper from my stash.

I used my  Mr & Mrs embossing folder for an added touch.

And of course what's a wedding card without a flower and pearls?

 

I would like to enter this into the Catch the Bug sketch challenge.

 

 



To Have & To Hold

I don't know if you have seen the new images over at All Dressed Up

but they are absolutely wonderful!!

 

Wendy has designed some new wedding stamps for her latest release.

And they are some of the prettiest I have seen!

 

I was privileged enough to get use the To Have & To Hold stamp.

Loved it~

 

 

 

I used some pretty ivory and black cardstock.

For added color, I added some gorgeous paper from Pion papers.

 

I used my favorite Martha Stewart lace edged punch.

I have used it so much, that I have wore one out.

 

Of course, for a wedding card, I had to add some pretty blue and purple flowers.

And of course pearls were a necessity.

 

I decided to go with an ivory gown instead of the normal white.

I edged the whole card in a pretty black and white flowered paper.

 

Please stop All Dressed Up stamps to check out the other stamps in

this new release, they are truly wonderful.

And I hope you take time to check out the other fabulous stamps,
