Congratulations

Hi! Since my brother's getting married, I thought I'd try making another card for my parents to give to him and his future wife. I still can't believe he's getting married. But what really bugs me is that we don't really know who she is. I haven't even had a single conversation with her and yet she will be in this family within a matter of days. Like, really?! Like no invitation to visit their place or have a cozy dinner, and let me ask you a million questions cause I'm dying to know how it can be that you are marrying my brother when I didn't even know you existed a month ago?! How does that happen?

Moving on ... I used the photo from Paper Smooches August Sparks Challenge.

Just a simple card. Woodgrain impression (PTI), doily with Congratulations from Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler, and lots of fuchsia and clear rhinestones. i wasn't too sure about this card when I first made it but it's growing on me the more I stare at it.

Thanks for reading!

I think you would have to ask your brother those questions as opposed to your future sister-in-law though... You still managed to make a super cute card for them though!

Your card is beautiful Eva, love your design!
I'm like you and I would hope my brother would let us get to know his girlfriend before he married her. I hope you'll be able to get to know her sometime soon!

Great take on the challenge photo, Eva! Must be some interesting story on how they met or maybe, crossing fingers, she's amazing and he didn't want to let her get away?! Your parents must be tripping out, lol.

TGF 3rd Annual Customer Blog Hop

Hi! After finishing up these 2 projects for TGF's Blog Hop , I've come to realize that I am kind of addicted to stamps, especially TGF stamps. Hehe. Okay, I will not babble on too much since there are lots of other blogs to check out as well. I made something for both categories, Holiday and General. First up is my Holiday card. I recently acquired Hippie Anya! She inspired me to make a "peace" card for the holidays. But then I had to add Fleur Anya for "love" ... and 80s Anya for "joy." So great that these stamps could be turned into something Christmas-y. My General project has been swimming in my mind ever since I made that counting book a while back with TGF stamps as well. I thought I could make an ABC book too. But I didn't make this into a book. More like flashcards, I suppose. My youngest has a hard time recognizing lower case letters so I thought this would be fun for him. All stamps are TGF. I ...

I love the look of layered tags so I used my Perfect Layers rulers to make some with My Mind's Eye Happy Haunting papers. I have a tag die from Papertrey Ink so I used that as my smaller tag. I glued that tag onto kraft cardstock and used my ruler to cut a 1/8th inch border aro...

upcycling Pokemon wrappers

Hello everyone! I am back with my latest sewing creations. I have been playing around with plastic wrappers! I've seen those upcycled plastic wrap bags and purses (usually made from Capri Sun package juice) but never really paid attention to them or how they were made until I saw this tutorial using the wrappers from Pokemon cards. My boys love Pokemon cards and were just throwing the wrappers away but I started saving them and collected enough from their recent birthdays to make a couple of items. Here is a little coin pouch (didn't want to call it a purse since it's for my youngest boy and he'd probably not like that). This little pouch was made with 4 wrappers, 2 in front and 2 in back. It is a bit tough to turn right side out because the wrappers and contact paper get stiff. But it's possible and looks really neat! I made it so he could hang it from the inside of his backpack and also carry around a little bit of emergency...
