You make the world special

After making a couple of these cards, I added a scallop circle punch of chocolate chip cardstock and an image stamped from Wishing you the Best by SU in Cool Caribbean, popped up with Zots 3-D adhesive dots.
Yes, I have been making cards. No, I haven't been taking pictures and posting them. So here's one I just whipped up to prove that I'm still creating. The sentiment, "you make the world special just by being in it" is from the stamp set You Make Me Happy by Stampin' Up! and the polo button brads are by Making Memories. The designer paper is by The Angel Company and the ink is Garden Green by Stampin' Up! in case you're curious.

Merideth's wedding

Isn't it fun to get wedding announcements in the mail? I love receiving good mail and was delighted when I received Merideth and Daniel's formal "love letter" recently. The elegant announcement and invitation was white with a dry embossed "double door" opening, wrapped with a satin bow in a soft blue {slightly aqua} colored ribbon and was so beautiful. Using some of my Loves Me patterned papers which were on my desk from Lindsey's birthday party invitations, I created this card for the soon-to-be newlyweds. Unlike the wedding announcement, these papers aren't very formal, but I felt that this whimsical young design matches Merideth's fun and cheerful personality. Best wishes to the new happy couple!
