Dry embossing

Happy thursday!

Let's try something new, but old that I thought I'd bring back around for fun.  Dry embossing....

To do this technique you can use any of your shaped framelits

or it you don't have any framelits you could draw a heart on paper

and cut it out to use as a template in place of the framelit.

For this project you will need the framelit shape of your choice,

a envelope and a stylus tool.

Take your envelope and slide the framelit under the closure

of the envelope. Taking the stylus tool gently trace around the 

heart image to create the heart.  

Like you see above here, just slowly trace around the image

Once done, you flip the envelope closure over and see the raised 

heart on the envelope!

How sweet it that!

I stamped the back of the envelope with

"yay for love" 

I'm using them for bridal shower and an aniversary card

that I plan to send out. 

Do you like this technique? Would you try it?

Hello Baby!

Happy wednesday,

I went in search of some baby shower wrapping paper and found this colorful stripped paper.  Super cute!

So I decided I had to make a card to match it.

I looked through my paper stash and was able to 

coordinate the colors!

How fun is that!

I backed the white paper with some glimmer

gold paper and then cut the colors in 1" strips.

It looks like the paper!  

Now to add my favorite vintage baby stamp to the card

and it's ready to gift.  

Possibly one of my favorite stamps,

this photo stamp looks so real. 

I used the gold twine to tie around the card.

So precious. 

Breakfast recipe

Here's a yummy brekkie dish you can really sink your teeth into.

This was so delish and as I always say, super easy!

Start by preheating the over at 350

Take any type of baking dish and use some cooking spray on the bottom.

Ingredients:

3 eggs

1/3 cup cottage cheese

1/2 cup of spinach

Protein of your choice, I used ham

1/2 c of cheese, I used havarti

salt and pepper

one 8" tortilla

Instructions:

Spray pan then line the pan with the tortilla and fill it with

the eggs that you will beat with a fork before pouring over the tortilla

Sprinkle a couple of tablespoons of cottage cheese the spinach, cheese and ham over the egg and also add a little garlic powder and salt and pepper.   Bake in over til eggs are done- 15-20 mins.

Enjoy!!!

Happy fri-yay~

It's a good good day and here's a cute quick and easy card for you to make. 

I used some of the in color background paper

to fill in the card.  Simply stamp the greeting right onto

white paper and cut them out to adhere them onto the card. 

I hope your day and weekend prove to be full of fun and creativity.

Flowering Rain Boots

Happy wednesday!

Bows are everywhere aren't they?

This sweet little card I made up for a friend who has 

had one storm after a another and why not add the bow?

This set has been retired for some time, but

you know you can come visit my site anytime

for you to see how you can make this card or another

one similiar.  If you don't have this set, then you can

swap out the boots for another cute stamp set. 

I used the aqua painter to create the shading on the boots. 

Can we get excited about this gorgeous pink organza

ribbon.  

Wedding season

Wedding season is under way and this weekend

was the first one of the season.

This was held at the beautiful historical Cross and Crown

church in the University District.

This beautiful historical church was transformed

into this magical venue.

So dreamy

The set-up consisted of these gorgeous spring arrangements

set at each row.  The bride also had pink bows tied from chair

to chair. The front of the stage is lined with more of the gorgeous

spring flowers.

After the ceremony the room had to be flipped over 

for the reception.

It turned out beautiful!

It took a team of thirteen people to make this happen in 45 mins time!

Happy bride and her girls 

Always and honor and privilege to get to coordinate

these weddings and be part of these special days. 

For the luv of bridal

This smile says it all!

My sweet youngest got to pick up her wedding dress

this past weekend and it was a magical day!

We visited the amazing bridal shop in Snohomish

called "for the luv of bridal"

This bridal shop is amazing!  They have so many styles

of dresses and accessories.  The staff is well trained

in helping style and size your dress.

Of course we can't show you THE dress but she sure tried

on some beauties. 

Just a small sneak peek of Shae in a veil,

not the one she landed on, but so pretty. 

If you know of anyone who is looking for a wedding

dress, this is the place.  So many styles to choose from.

This is a small corner of the store that has the accessories.

So much to take in and look at. 

The countdown is on!

Here's to a beautiful wedding season!
