Just Add Bows

Just Add Ink 184

"Always the Bridesmaid, never the Bride"

The Just Add Ink challenge this week is from Nikki, 'Just Add Bows' and as you know, I always love adding bows to my cards, but this time, for me, it had to be an 'amazing' bow - a stand out bow! 

As for the quote, for me it's different. I have never been a bridesmaid. I have been blessed by being a bride and I loved it, but never a bridesmaid. Until now! So you can imagine my excitement when I was asked and of course I needed to create the most amazing engagement card for my best-friend and her fiancé! I can't wait for them to 'tie the knot.' ;)

 

This is a tri-fold card, so it needed to be on an easle!

The card was so thick that I made a box for it!

I am loving the new Modern Medley Designer Series Paper on page 154. 

I have seen so many beautiful cards made using this paper, great for Christmas and male cards too! I used it >HERE< a few months ago.

Just Add Ink - Sketch Challenge

Just Add Ink 175

As you may know, I am in Utah enjoying the Stampin Up Grand Vaction! 

I am blessed to so many supporters, not only my amazing customers, but my family and friends too. 

While I have been away this week, it has been our office girl, Maggie's birthday. 

I am a 'pink, frilly, crafty, shabby chic' kinda girl - well Mag's is more of a grunge girl. Her favourite colour is black, but she's still girly. Mag's also loves music. My husband and her talk bands and music all day!

Maggie and I don't have a lot in common, but we do have is our friendship and she has been a huge support to me and I am very grateful. 

The Just Add Ink challenge this week is a sketch - I turned it around. 

 

I made the cassette using Stampin Up punches.  I don't know if my kids will even know what a cassette is!

I am loving the new Modern Medley Designer Series Paper. So beautiful.
