Bridal Shower Card

Happy Sunday Everyone!

I wanted to share a card that I made a few days ago for my boss' bridal shower party we had at work.  We ended up having the party after her wedding due to the snow storm we had a couple weeks ago.  The couple is going to Hawaii for their honeymoon so the party was a Hawaiian theme and they wanted that reflected in the card for her.

It was an interesting combo for me but I think I pulled it off.  I was stressing about making the card as I wanted to do something elegant but also tie in the Hawaii thing.  In the end, I was pleased with the end result and my boss/co-workers loved the card.

Would love to hear what you guys think of the card....

Thanks....Nicole

Baby Shower Thank You Cards

Happy Sunday Everyone,

Today I am posting a card that I worked on last week.  I was asked to donate a set of cards to go into a Baby Item Basket for a silent auction that my job is having at a fundraiser next week.  This card was inspired by a card that Emma at Creative Time made a while back.  Hers was a shaped card (just the onsie).

Anyway, this project at first was a little challenging for me as I had to make it gender neutral and I just could not find any patterned paper that I really liked (in my stash).  Finally, I noticed the one I used in the Linen Closet stack and poof....I was inspired.

Hope you like it....

MPS Blog Hop Challenge

Hey Everyone,

Today's project is for the challenge over at MPS.  Robyn had a blog hop last night and introduced her new design team along the way.  At each stop, the DT member introduced themselves, made a project and had a word that you had to put together to participate in the challenge!  Robyn has put together an amazing design team and I can't wait to see what all they have in store for us all over the next six months!

Today, I decided to use the Sweethearts cart and the card base is from Birthday Bash...  Hope you like.  Let me know what you think!!  Also if you have any advice on how I can get better pictures, would love it.  My pics never do my projects justice...(and I am using an Ottolite)

  Have a great weekend!! :)
