Totally just got asked out

I was looking through my Designer paper and came across this paper with text from the spring break collection form stampin up, I thought if I was a single girl that would be something that I would drink to. I love the way that stampin up designer paper can be used together, the dresses were paper pieced with Bella Rose dp.

Masquerade Mask

I am attending a masquerade themed 21st this weekend. But I soon discovered that I could not wear a mask and my glasses at the same time, so I had to make one up. I drew the design free hand and used this lovely felt embossed card from DCWV and wanted to keep to the creme theme. I then simply attached the feathers and flowers and a touch of bling with pearls on the opposite side. The mask was then attached to a spare pair of glasses, so I can now see everyone at the party.
Supplies: Paper DCWV La Creme, Ostrich feathers, flowers- Bella, brads - craft affair, pearls-kaiser

Aged Perfectly

This set from My Favourite Things is one that I purchased from the craft show last month, actually I purchased a few MFT sets.
My Daughter turns 21 next month so I am working on cards with drink glasses, not that I would send her this one, I think it is more suited for someone who is 21 again rather than the first time around. I love the paper piercing, so much easier than colouring the dresses in. I used sketch MFTSC73 for this layout.
Recipe:
Stamps: MFT - Girls night out
Paper: Kiwi Kiss, Riding hood Red. DPS - Bella Rose.
Other: Cuttlebug EB Folder - Bubbles, oval punch, copics, Kaiser pearls

25th Anniversary

This is a very quick post as today is my 25th Anniversary and my Hubby and I are heading off to spend a few days at a golf resort.
Wow 25years together, it just seems like it was the other day that we met.
Your love has brought me happiness
Your touch has made me warm
And all you do and say to me

I know and love just who you are
And there you will abide.
I love you.
Happy Anniversary
