His 1st auto accident!

Gavin was involved in a minor car accident this afternoon. Everybody is fine and the package he was delivering made it out in one piece :) It took a few minor repairs but he had the truck up and running again in no time flat! (Notice that there is a little tow truck parked next to the truck as he makes his repairs? This was a very serious job for him today.)

Marriage Reception Invitation

I was very honored to be asked to make some invitations for a marriage reception. It took place in early November so they used fall colors for decorations and I tried to find some fall colors to use on the invites as well. I really liked the final product.

The base of the invite is a chocolate brown cardstock. And the deep red card stock is stamped with a forever and ever and ever stamp using VersaMark to create the watermark affect. I just stamped it over and over and over... Then I just stamped the cake on sparkle paper and used watercolors and Stickles to color. After that I mounted in the marigold color and put on w/pop-dots and tied some organdy ribbon.

The reception was supposed to be casual but not too casual. I hoped that w/the destressing of the paper it made the invite a bit casual, but we chose a font for the invite wording that was fun but a little fancy at the same time.

Hope you like...

Here is a Christmas card I made

for a family member. The pretty blue cardstock and ink color don't come through very well in the picture, but they are very vibrant. And it has a 3-d look w/the image on pop-dots, but that's hard to see in the picture too.

I really like the stamp set, it's from CTMH.

Some generic baby announcements

My cousin is pregnant and I told her that I'd make the announcements for her if she was planning on sending them out. During my scrapping weekend I had a few hours to throw some together. They aren't anything great, but I just wanted to send some sample to give her an idea of layouts and different things that can be done w/paper and glue.
