Celebrate!

HI Everyone,

I am excited to share a scrapbook page that I made for a friend's wedding. I am so happy for her and her wonderful fiance and was wanting to send something to her for her special day so I thought to create a scrapbook page using parts of her wedding invitation. The wedding invite has these beautiful gold embossed papers that are so beautiful and exquisite - I wanted to create a page using them so that the invitation becomes an embellishment for her scrapbook page. 

One of my most favorite sentiments (and stamp sets) is "Celebrate the day that gave me you" (awww!) isn't that the sweetest?! It is from the Love's Flower stamp set from Verve stamps (so beautiful!) and I thought it was such a nice and perfect sentiment for her and her fiance as the celebrate the day that they become husband and wife - Here is a close up of the the sentiment and the rolled flower that I made from part of the invitation:

I added a little bling on the center of the rolled rose and used some Spellbinders dies for the leaves that I cut out using some gold metal cardstock and added a line of liquid pearls around the sentiment. I framed the scrapbook page in a shadow box. I punched out hearts from the invitation and added them around the frame along with ruby bling around the frame:

Project Ingredients:

Paper: Metallic Gold cardstock, red Bazzill cardstock, gold paper from the wedding invitation

Stamps: Love's Flower stamp set from Verve Stamps

Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black 

Accessories: EK Success border punches, ribbon from stash, Spellbinders Leaves dies, Spellbinders frame dies, Martha Stewart heart punches, Want2Scrap bling, EK success shape punch, glue dots, dimensionals, red tacky tape, gold liquid pearls, 8x8 Shadowbox Frame

 I loved making this page for her - and I hope that she and her husband enjoy every single moment of their new adventure.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Happy Weekend!

 Big hugs Sankari

Verve January Release - Day 2 of Sneak Peeks!

Good Morning Everyone!!!

Did you catch the start of the sneak peeks on the Verve Blog?! Julee has created some amazingly beautiful stamp sets for the release this Friday!!! Yesterday, the Divas kicked off the sneak peeks with some amazingly gorgeous samples! Today, we continue the sneak peeks with samples from the stamp set: Accent Notes! Check out the Verve Blog to check out what yumminesssssss Michelle, Tosh, Shannan have created for your viewing pleasure!!! I totally adore every stamp in this beautiful stamp set and here is my card using the Accent Notes set:

You know me and sunshine - I can't get enough of it (especially with all the weather that we have been having!) The background of the card is stamped with one of the beautiful filigree stamps that Julee has designed. I stamped the circle motif and spellbinded it out (can that be a new verb? lol!) and then popped up the sentiment on a circle that I had punched out. I created little rays with just some strips of yellow paper attached with glue dots - and then created some stripes on the bottom with a copic and a gel pen :). And for the final touch - a bit of bling, a strip of ribbon and some liquid pearls :)

I can't even tell you how I loved making this card! The release party for all the stamp sets that Julee will be releasing will be happening on Friday Night!!! And you could win some awesome Verve-y goodness too!!

My challenge was to create a Valentine Favor Box! I created a cake slice favor box stuffed with Lindt Chocolates :) (which as Maureen was mentioning is a hard thing to make especially when you are trying to save enough chocolates for the picture you are going to take! lol!) I decorated a cake slice favor box that I had - but you can create one of your own with this template. Here is my favor box with a super sneaky sneak peek (more on this stamp set later this week!) from the stamp set called: Love's Flower which will also be released on Friday!

Here is a picture of the cake slice box from the side:

And then when it is opened to reveal all the yummies within it :)
