Love never fails...

Happy Monday!  Crazy, but I've said it before....I love Mondays.  It's the fresh start to a new week.  Ususally I feel rested after Sunday...not so much the case today with a little one up half the night with an ear ache and another one up because of the thunder.  Maybe I'll sneak in a nap today.  ha!  right.  :-)

I had a bridal shower to attend this past weekend and I thought I'd share the card I created.  I don't know the bride real well, she is marrying a cousin of mine, but she doesn't strike me as the traditional pastel, lacey, umbrella type girl, so I went a little out of the typcial bridal shower norm for her card.  Based on her regristry items, I gathered she loves deep, rich colors and things with a vintage vibe...

I used some pretty papers from Basic Grey's Hello Luscious collection....one of my all time favorites...and paired it with a great sentiment from PTI's Beautiful Blessings.  That is such a great sentiment set -- so fitting for so many different occasions!  I topped it off with a Tim Holtz label and some new Fancy Pants chipboard letters which are the perfect size for cardmaking!  Lots of chipboard letters are larger, meant more for scrapbooking, but I think these are perfect for cards.  Happy day!

Thanks for stopping by!  I'd better get busy...on the agenda today a preschool checkup for Katie, which I'm sure is going to involve several needles.  yuck.  And then maybe a sewing project...some little backpacks I've been wanting to make for the girls, and maybe a trip to the flower store...I just realized it's late June and I haven't planted a single flower!  Bad me!
