SVGcuts.com Tea for You and Me!!

Good morning!

Well, have I had a month! And I see it's been that long since I've been here!

Not to write a novel or anything,,,,,,,,,,,but my youngest daughter has been engaged to marry her fiance now for over a year. They suddenly decided they wanted to get married BEFORE he goes into the service,,,,,,,,

in June.

faint.

I had literally 3 months to get this thing off the ground, and I was NOTHING but busy in April. Between finding and booking a venue, dress fittings, shopping for dresses for the girls, outfits for the men, shoe shopping, making invitations (yes, I made them,,,,,,,the base was a kit, but I remade the kit), place cards, programs, and a million other things,,,,,,,,,,,,,,whew!!!!

It will be lovely, however :)  She's getting married at a lovely outdoor venue amidst gorgeous, huge oak trees, in an "Evening in Paris" theme. By the time it's done, I'll be ready for a vacation LOL.

And, of course, I had major computer problems that didn't help. Sigh. JUST got those fixed,,,,,

I'm still going crazy, but I wanted to stop by and drop off a project I've made recently,,,,,,,

I have fallen in love with svgcuts.com. Their projects are just adorable,,,,,,,and so easy. Mary and Leo always provide a video that walks you through the complicated projects and makes them OH so easy!!

so without further ado,,,,,,,here's my project.

Here's the tea cup alone,,,

And the tea pot!

Happy Birthday, Hannah!

Good Afternoon! I hope you and yours have all had a lovely holiday season and a very happy new year!

I am so sorry for being gone so long,,,,,,,,,but I am finally feeling SO much better. I had a bit of catch up to do with my housework, and then there were holiday decorations to take down. But, I actually made several cards this week. I am so excited to share one of them with you today!

My youngest daughter celebrated a remarkable birthday yesterday! She is 21!  She's turned into such a lovely young lady, and I am so proud of her! It amazes me to think that all of my children are now old enough to vote, drink, and kill themselves for our country WITHOUT my permission LOL.  I am proud of all my children,,,,,,,,,all of whom have faced struggles to become the amazing people they are.

So, without further ado, my daughter's 21st birthday card.

Here's a close up of the focal point,,,,,

My focal point is made up of spellbinders layers and a Memory Box flourish,,,,,

The paper is all MME Lost and Found, both the Blush pad and Madison Avenue,,,,,I love how delicate and feminine this is,,just like my daughter!


Card Recipe:

Paper: MME Lost and Found Madison Avenue and Blush, plain white card stock
Stamps: Justrite Happy Everything kit
Ink: Versafine Onyx black
Dies: (from the bottom up) Spellbinders Floral Ovals,  Memory box elegant scrollwork (cut in two), spellbinders lacy ovals, spellbinders ovals large
ribbon, lace, velvet trim: Hobby Lobby
Pearls and flowers: Recollections from Michael's

I hope you enjoyed the card! And thanks to all of you who thought of me, checked on me, emailed me, etc. I am doing so much better,,,,,,,,the right meds in the right amounts have certainly given me my life back!

Happy New Year,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and Happy Birthday to my gorgeous daughter, Hannah!  I love you more than you'll ever know!

Thanks and Get Wells,,,,,,,,and a big disappointment,,,,,,,

Good Morning!  I hope everyone has been watching the RNC and the DNC,,,,voting is an amazing right. So let's do it!

This morning I have two cards to share,,,,,,,,the first is a thank you to the Cuban American friends we spent a lovely day with last week,,,,,,,they sent us home with a lovely bottle of wine, and we wanted to send a thank you card,,,,,,,it probably would have gone out sooner, but I've been busy working on the album for his mother,,,,,

The rolled roses are felt,,,,,I cut them myself free hand, easy peasy, and just rolled them up and glued with a glue gun,,,,,,,,the paper is MME Lost and Found Two Blush collection,,,,,,Oooo la la, I love this paper! I also used my FAV new stamp set, Just the Right Words set by Justrite to create my sentiment, which I then matted with circles large and picot edge circles.

My next card explains the big disappointment,,,,,,,,,,it's a get well card made for Jose,,,,,,the man whose mother is becoming an American Citizen today,,,,,,,,,,he had an emergency appendectomy yesterday morning and won't be able to go to the ceremony for his mother. I can only imagine how he feels. My husband called home and asked me to make a get well card for him, and of course, I did,,,,,,,,,,,and I feel so badly for him.

Now guy cards are tough for me,,,,,,,but I did my best.  I used MME Lost and Found Two Sunshine deck, and went with a color scheme of gold and black,,,,,,,,,with a bit of off white. Labels 14, some shiny gold ribbon, some leaves inked thhrough the die, and a fancy gold corner piece, and she's done.

I hope you enjoyed the cards, and thanks for looking!
