Lovey Ducks

Happy Friday! I can't even tell you how excited I am that it is Friday - yes!  We're hoping the weather cooperates this weekend so we can take a family hiking trip (finally!!).
I picked up a Penny Black stamp from Stamper's Dream called Loving and Hugging - super cute!  The paper is My Mind's Eye Jack & Jill, one of my latest "go to" paper packs.  Love the patterns and colors!  The image is stamped on Neenah Natural White cardstock and colored with Copics, then layered over the Big Scalloped Oval Nestabilities die.  The sentiment is part a Hero Arts set called Just Find Me, packed full of different sentiments - I thought the "Smile" was cute for these little love ducks.  The card is finished with May Arts teal organdy ribbon and a few yellow pearls.
Thanks for stopping by!  Don't forget to check out all the new arrivals at Stamper's Dream - lots and lots of fun items!!

Mark & Lisa's Wedding

Hi!  I feel like I've been hiding in a cave this past week - I'm so out of touch and I haven't been able to blog hop or get on Facebook (GASP!!) or even peek in for a quick hello.  So HI!!!  I'm so excited to be back among the land of the stamping :)
My sweet MIL asked me to make her wedding invitations and I'm so incredibly honored that she would ask little old me.  The order was simple enough, only 30 invites, but you know me and all my crazy embellishments.  So I made this task a wee bit more time consuming than I was planning on, but I LOVE the result!
I've been dying to use this little watercolor flower stamp from Hero Arts set called Watercolor Petals and it works so nicely as a little watermark image behind the script.  I printed the invitation on Neenah Natural White cardstock and then ran the panel through my Cuttlebug with a Curved Rectangles Mega Nestabilities and added little leaves and flowers to the corners.  Can't forget my favorite clear rhinestones either!  I was going to run the invitation through the Cuttlebug one more time with the embossing mats, but then came to my senses - 60 times through that thing might have sent me over the edge - hahaha!
Alright, enough chit-chat!  I've got to finish up the coordinating RSVP cards and get these in the mail today before the post office closes.

Have a wonderful Friday!
Karen
