Vintage Grad

Happy, Happy Friday! Happy Mother's Day weekend to me and to all you ladies out there! I started my "weekend" celebrating already! My hubby came home from work early and we went to lunch and a movie before the kids even got home from school! Then he let me take a nap when we got home! Talk about spoiled!! We saw Iron Man 2....so good! :)
These are graduation announcements that I made for a very sweet girl. I made 50 of them. They took some time...but it was sooo worth it! They turned out darling and I think totally reflect who Alleigh is! The main card has the graduation announcement and info. The small pullout has info for the party after that she is having.I found a really cute stamp set at Archivers with different vintage chandeliers. The little swirl things in pink are from the same set. (I have no idea what it's called or the company) I embossed the image in black & added some pink blink to it to make it even cuter!I used my Silhouette to cut out the 2010 on the front! I {heart} my Silhouette! It does so much!
Have a WONDERFUL weekend!!! Thanks for stopping in!
chat at ya later!

Love Birds

Hi all....I haven't gotten lost! I have just had a lot going on...which means my blogging is always what gets pushed to the bottom of the to do list. I hurt my back about 2 weeks ago and it kept me from doing anything for a week. I was confined to my black recliner and was bored to tears! I was on some medications...so I wasn't quite myself. I am feeling much, much better now though!! Also I have been working on some very special gifts for Tyson and Kyler's teachers for an end of the year 'Thank You' and' We Will Miss You'! I can't wait to be able to show you!!...just a few more weeks! Thanks for not giving up on me!! :)
I made these as invitations for a 25th wedding anniversary party a friend I threw for some other good friends! I wanted something really simple that just conveyed the message of "still in love after all these years". I think this did it! You can kinda see the inside. Since I used a white base I decided to dress up the inside a little. I printed the party info on baja breeze and added some hearts to the corners of the invite. I colored my birds with my blender pens. I love doing simple!!
Thanks for checking in! chat at ya later....Have a wonderful day!!

It's great to be 8!

As promised...snapped a few pictures!! I am so in love with my camera...it might be a little bit wrong! I am sooo excited thinking about the awesome pictures I am going to be able to get of Kailee and Tyson in their Wizard of Oz performances next week!!! I am also excited to take more pictures of the things I have been working on!
Alrightee then...on to these invites. In our church the children are baptized when they are 8 yrs old. We wait till the child is 8 because we believe it is the age of accountability. At the beginning of every year we invite all the kids who will be turning 8 this year to a Baptism Preview. We talk about baptism, what it means, answer questions, things like that. These are the invites I made for the kids and their parents. I made some pink ones for the girls and blue ones for the boys. I think they turned out cute. The image is from some clipart I printed off my computer. I used the retired Crew Girl and Crew Boy Scrap Kit papers.
