Wedding (part one)

I realized I never posted much about the wedding.My life has been so crazy and I have a few spare minutes so I thought I would share.I will post in parts because I am worried about to many pictures in one post :)
My best friend Carmen took the most amazing pictures.I could not have done everything without the help of my wonderful family and friends.It was a beautiful wedding with the most beautiful bride ever.

Halloween Treat Bag

Halloween treat bag made with a 3x11 strip of card stock, scored at 5in and 6in.Then folded up and stapled at the top with the clear filled treat bad also stapled in between .I cut a scallop circle out of some green paper and folded it in half and attached it with a bow at the top.I punched the jack o lantern with a Martha Stewart anywhere punch.
These would be sweet for visiting teaching gifts :)

Craft Lounge stamps & Copics my new fav's "The Pond"

I have been collecting Copics for about 9 months now and not had time to really sit and practice with them.I used them on Jacque's Wedding Invitations but not much else.I finally had some time to play and what better stamps to play around with then Our craft Lounge stamps.I just love these stamps!

This was my first time ever really masking also, it opened up a whole new world for me and stamping.

I love the May Arts ribbon colors that Doodlebugs just put out. I was excited to use them on these cards.What doesn't look better with a beautiful bow?

Both cards are stamped with Our craft lounge "The Pond" stamps and colored with copics.I also used some brown sparkly fluff for a cute affect.
I am trying to expand my copic coloring skills I am very new at it but am enjoying learning and collecting all those beautiful pens.

American Crafts Campy Trails "Campin" Album

I have been so looking forward to scraping about out first family camp out. So when I saw this paper from American crafts I knew it would make our pictures stand out perfectly.In the 15 years Bob and I have been together we have never camped. Besides boy scout camp or kids had never camped either.We had the most amazing time with our family and some great friends.
 My album is made with a Maya Road binder album in 8x8 its a perfect base for any album. I used Campy Trails papers, embellishments and some great thickers. I also have found my new favorite card stock,American crafts card stock rocks!!
Thanks for looking and stay tuned I am going to do my first ever give away, I am trying to think of something really good to give away :)

October Afternoon's Rocket Age "Play" Album

   

I have had this adorable Collection for months and was so excited to finally have time to make something with it.This is a Maya Road Chipboard word album,the paper collection is October Afternoon's Rocket Age.Riley is so into space and rockets this fit him perfectly.I sprayed the cover and back with blue Maya Mist and used some Cosmo cricket tiny type throughout.I also found the sweetest rocket punch from Martha Stewart that I was able to use with the stars to embellish the twine.The kids loved looking at all these pictures of Riley, he is such a sweet boy and brings so much joy to our family.

Letters To My Daughter

I saw this beautiful album on two peas made by Steph Devlin called "letters to my children" It was so lovely I just had to make something like it. So here is my version....I loved the idea of McKenna having a letter to open at each special birthday and milestone event in her life.I think my next one will be for Jacque and her wedding and events and milestones from then on.I will include poems and inspirational quotes and letters of advice and love along the way.These books are not for in case something happens to us they are for now :) It will take me a while to get all the letters written but I figure I can write when I feel inspired and just add as I go.Mckenna is turning 10 this week so I have some time.

I used this wonderful tag envelope book from Melissa Frances and distressed it with Tim Holtz destress inks.The paper and embellishments were from pink paislee "sweetness" line and basic grey "curio".Used lost of pearls and liquid pearls from ranger my new favorite thing.Lots of Martha stewart punches love them too :)
Thanks for looking :) here is the link to Steph Devlin's album so sweet!!
