Happy Anniversary

 

 

They married seven years ago. It was probably the HOTTEST day in August. I remember that it well.  Running around to make sure all the decorations were still up and the gardens were prepped for the big day took place after hair, makeup and mimosa compliments of the brides mother!  

 

 

I used the Night of Navy since it reminded me of  the dress I wore. Its still in my closet, since I know eventually, I will have a party to wear it again!

 

 

I used Very Vanilla with Expresso and alittle Crumb Cake with the First Edition DSP.

 

 

 

 

Here I am in my dress with a friend at the wedding. Can you see us sweating?

 

 

Stole this from the Brides FB page

 

 Wow, I loved my hair like that too!

 

 

 

 

Have a great day! Hug the ones you love!  Thanks for stopping by!

Halloween Treat

I cannot really get into Halloween this year.. for whatever reason.. I am not grumpy about it - I just cannot GET the spirit.

I put these little baskets together for co workers, in the hopes of which some of the halloween spirit would flow.. but hey, there are still pumpkins to be cut and cider to be drank! In all due time may the spirit arrive!






I used the "box from the matchbox die to form the bottom of the pumpkin, which a small bag filled with candy corn {{ uuuuck!! }} fits perfect in there. I used the scalloped oval die for the pumpkin sides and the handles - just switched out the colors. I textured the pumpkin and sponged the outside.




I added the tag from Seasonal Sentiments, punched out with the small tag punch & attached with Old Olive ribbon - perfect and ready to go! .. well I might add a stem, in Old Olive, I am still debating...

What do you think???



Ingredients:
Stamps: Seasonal Sentiments
CS: real rust (shhhh, its retired, but I wanted to use it up!), Old Olive & Espresso, Confetti White
Ink: Chocolate Chip & Markers = Cherry Cobbler & Old Olive


Thank you for stopping by!
