WEDDING INVITATIONS FOR STEVEN & BASIA

 Hello To All My Crafty Friends,

I hope your day was a great one & that you are off to a great start for the New Year. I am so happy to be back posting on my blog & looking forward to your comments & any questions that you will have for me.

As I promised, here are pics of the wedding invitations that I designed & made, for my son & new dil's wedding this past September 2011.
Basia wanted to go with tropical colors, so I did the background on the front of the invitation that way.
Used a variety of cardstock colors by Bazzil.
I used contrasting colors of  cardstock, with the top one embossed.
Using Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder.
I cut out the bride & groom using my Cricut Expression & the Stretch Your Imagination cart.
On the wedding gown  I accented it with Stickles Diamond, then using a glitter marker of silver outlined the grooms attire.
Then I stamped the saying using one of the sentiments from Cloud 9 stamp set, called Simple Thoughts- wedding.
To finish the front of the invitation, I added contrasting colored  picot ribbon, by American Crafts.
On the inside, all the info was printed out on colored vellum with a flower accent.

Well the invitations seem to be a hit & I hope you enjoyed them too.
Please leave me any comments, questions & or suggestions on what your thoughts of my design are.
All  are always welcome, so please express yourself.

Until next time, have a wonderful & Blessed day.
Hugs, dee

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

Well it sure has been several months since I have posted on my blog. The last time as you probably know was back in May, right before I had my third back surgery. It has been a rough road to recovery & a long one at that. I'm still not completely healed &  have a ways to go, still in much pain, but getting better.

I hope Y'all had a wonderful summer, a very Merry Christmas & a safe  & Happy New Year Eves.

My craft room still isn't all set up, but have been trying slowly to get it together. So in the future I will be posting my progress of how it will look.

My youngest son Steven got married in September & it sure was a beautiful wedding. I designed & made all the wedding invitations. When everything was done including the wedding, I was exhausted & needed a good rest. LOL
This week I will be posting pics of the invitations & their wedding pic.

Lately, I have been busy crocheting & also working on a quilt for my master bedroom.
I am trying so hard to get back into crafting, because for the past several months I had no interest in anything. Probably if it wasn't for Steven getting married & for me offering to make the invitations, I wouldn't of made anything till recently. So that was a good thing to get me motivated.
Then one  day I woke up & realized I missed crafting. Crafting keeps me sane.

So, I hope Y'all will check back daily to see what I am making for the New Year & that you haven't given up on me.

Stop by real soon to see what is new.

May God Bless Y'all.
Hugs,
Dee

Tomorrow Is The Big Day

Tomorrow is my surgery day, so I will be away from my blog for awhile. I hope that you will check back in about a week to see if I have posted anything.
I know that you all are out there lerking at my blog, but still no comments. What's up with that?
I appreciate any feedback that I receive, so I will know what you would like to see on my blog in the near future.
So come on, please leave me your comments. Give me some ideas of what I should be posting. I want to post things that you all want to see & learn about. I am still learning about this blogging stuff.
Take care & have a wonderful & blessed day.
Hugs, Dee

My News

Hello,
I thought that I would be able to get a couple more cards done before I had my surgery.
But with all this extra testing & things that I have to get done around the house, there just isn't enough time, sorry.
Plus with all this pain, it makes it hard for me. I have one more day at home, then bright & early Thursday morning, I will be headed to the hospital  which is over 2 hours away from my here. Then here I go again.
Hopefully, I will only be in the hospital for a week or less this time. I hope that this is true, then I can come home & get better where I'd rather be.
I've noticed though that I haven't had any comments recently of what I have posted.
I am hoping when I get better, can craft again & post what I made, you all will start commenting.
I love to get comments so please start leaving them when you look over my blog, it will be greatly appreciated.
That way, I will know what you would like to see here on my blog.
So until after I come back home from my surgery, have wonderful & blessed days.
Hugs,
Dee
