The one with a wedding card

Back from Vegas... and haven't stopped since! Played golf Friday, Saturday and Sunday! Today was Alain's work golf tournament. We played husbands vs. wives.... and after 16 holes we were tied at 3 under par. We got called off the course because of tornado warnings.... we we had to call it a draw. Still I think we did pretty well!

Now, this is the first card that I have ever made with a picture on it! But I think its so cute.


It is mostly because they are the cutest couple ever :) I made this girl's wedding invitations and her maid of honor asked me to make her an extra special card.

I don't have the sample of her invites unfortunately.... she still has it. But if I get it back I will share. They were really nice!
So this is the seating chart I made to for her. The paper was all left over from the invites so it worked out perfectly!

Colors are a little off in this photo but they were a shimmer mocha color with dark pink accents. There are six cards that she put on a mirror as people entered the hall. She is on her honeymoon now.... but promises she will send pictures of it all together :)

Hope you had a great weekend!
I have lots of scrapping to do this week, as well as a few golf matches that I need to play! So it will be a busy week.
Oh and a Momenta RAK later this week a well :)

The one on the Plane!

Blogging from somewhere between Detroit and Las Vegas!! I am about half way there right now. Just thought I would pop in since I will be away til Friday.

I am coming up on my 100th blog post.... I think this is 97! I have a Momenta giveaway planned for my 100th post! So look for that early next week :)

When I checked today it was only 90 degrees in Vegas.... but this week looks like it will be very hot. I hope that we get some golf in... and maybe win some money too :)

Have a great week!

The one with 2 quickies!

Yesterday was such a beautiful day here! Sunny and breezy and not too warm. I spent some time outside gardening.... watering plants and weeding. Have to say its one of my least favorite things to do! But I am determined NOT to kill my flowers this year :)

I let Babe out with me while I was in the back yard. She really loves being outside. I think she misses how she was able to go out a lot more when we lived at my parents house, not in the city, with lots of land around.
She hates the camera so I never get her cute face.... but here she is sunning in the grass...

And when she gets too hot, she goes under the patio table.

In scrappy news, I made a couple quick layouts last night. I don't love these pictures so I just wanted to get them done. A couple from my trip to Myrtle Beach last fall. (BoBunny paper)

This piece of paper I have had for almost 4 years now! I saw it in a store and for some reason only bought one piece!!! There is co-ordinating red words on the back that might have been fun too. But oh well.... at least I finally got to use it. Nothing exciting her! Just wanted to use this paper and put our tickets on it as well.

Not really my 'style' but come on... its a sports page :)

Other than that, I made a really cute wedding seating chart for one of the Brides that I did invites for. Have to post that another day. Still don't have a sample of her invite to share... have to get that back from her!

Tomorrow we are celebrating Fathers day... separately. Turned out that Alain's family and my family both planned stuff on the same night. So I will be going with my family for dinner and Alain will be at his Aunts BBQ. Not enough time to do everything!!!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

The one with the guys

Last night I felt like scrapbooking ... so found this picture of the guys on the Cruise. These are my husband's good guy friends. Most of them have been friends since grade school!

They are all super fun guys so I thought they needed some bright, funky colors and prints. So I used lots of Pink Paislee here.... a mix of 365 degrees and Bayberry Cottage! (seeing this now I think I need a bit of red on the left side of the photo!..humm)

Some details:

Heidi Swapp ghost clock, Girls' Paperie arrow (from the travel line).

Also, yesterday I finished my last set of invites! These are super cute... and they are for a super fun girl Melissa! She will be picking them up on Friday... I hope she loves them :)
Here are some images:

Not much exciting going on here today! Golf course is closed for a tournament so I might just have to scrapbook some more :)

Have a great day!

The one with a fair

Friday night I had Josie over to scrapbook. She got a lot done... and I got this done :)
I really loved working with this Bo Bunny paper! This one will be up at Scrappy Chic later this month!

All the paper is Bo Bunny, mixed with some Pink Paislee artisan tape and pleated ribbon trim. I am addicted to this trim..... I need more of it already!! Banners seem to be very 'in' right, so I created this one with Heidi Swapp stars, inked and placed along a stitched swag. Topped off with lots of buttons on this page! Really like how this one turned out.

My problem right now is that I have run out of pictures to scrapbook. At least I feel that way. I guess I will have to dig back into some oldies from my childhood. One thing I told myself when I applied for design teams is that I wouldn't take 'fake' pictures just to have something to scrapbook. I just wanted to use the ones I had that I need to get done with the papers I was give. Hopefully my trip to Vegas next week will get me lots of good pictures!

So yesterday morning we went over to a family friends house who had a ton of really nice interlocking brick that they wanted to get rid of! We said we would take it.... 2 hours of loading brick later... we have a new project to work on! We did make a stamped concrete patio in our back yard about 4 years ago... so now we are going to use the brick to make a path around the garage to our driveway and add a gate at the side of the house. I think it will look great.... but now we just have to do it! lol....

But not today... I am way too sore from all the brick moving yesterday! Ouch.

Hope your having a great weekend!
