Wedding Guest Book

I had this idea for the place setting cards to become part of the Wedding Guest Book.

Each grey card base was rolled through the cuttlebug using the Couture Creations Intrinsic 

folder and scored to make an "A" card.

I then came across the cutting plate for the hearts, so 80 hearts later we had floor full of 

 tiny confetti from the tiny holes in the hearts edge pattern.

Each Guest's name was written on the front. I was going to print the names 

but annoyingly the yellow card wouldn't go through the printer.

I had difficulty finding an album with enough pages to cater for the 80 guests 

so I covered 2 small photo albums with the chevron yellow fabric,

 organza and a bling heart and added a front page verse.

Wedding guest book verse.

I bought an artist sketch pad and designed 10 pages, each with its

 dictionary meaning  for words associated with love and marriage.

I ran each page through the printer 8 times and added the yellow pockets 

(also rolled through the Cuttlebug),  for the finished cards to go into once

the guests had written their messages to the Bride and Groom

The outcome was a beautiful keepsake for the bride and groom

 to be enjoyed for years to come.

All things scraps can become

 Great Things

Easter time is here....

Have a wonderful holiday this Easter

This Christmas was especially hard for me

so I decided to get back to basics

 I pulled out the sewing machine, papers

 and any scraps I could find

I Got Craftin.....

Here are some of the creations I came up with:

2 of the finished designs

Fabric Bracelets

I used strips of the fabrics and added Embellishments

to each one

 

With a slip knot at one end, thread the strip through the loop

and make another slip knot that then slides along the strip 

to tighten or lossen the bracelet 

The finished Bracelets

Have fun playing with making different ones of these funky bracelets
