Congratulations Cheryl!




Friday night was a HOOT (Husbands Out Of Town) night.  My husband (Best Man #2) spent the week on a "Hangover Part 3 week," so of course, us wives decided to take the bride out!
As a small gift, I made the ladies a frame and "key" straps (to remember the night). I used the MDS program with the matching Love & Laughter rubber stamp set. This was the first time I was able to use the two together, and I think I'm addicted because it was so easy.  I stamped the frame using white Staz-On ink, giving it the embossed look.  The other pieces (heart and circle labels) are all digital prints and cut out with punches.
It was a great night. We didn't get completely crazy, but it still got wild. Let's just say, if you have a hands-free car kit, be careful of dirty prank callers while your parents are in the car... Thanks for a great night ladies!

Baby baptism




Saturday was a very special little girl's baptism day- my great niece and God-daughter, Averi. This was quite a day for our little girl to have a BIG party. It was the perfect day to bring together two (very) extended and very loving families. I'd say, altogether about 200+ guests attended this special day.  I helped with designing the invitations (with a MDS "hybrid", of course) and matching party favors. I'm also showing the card that I made for her. Grandmas, aunts, cousins and friends pulled together to make everything look awesome.  Congratulations to a much loved and very blessed little girl. We love you so much!
