Challenge #15 - Love is in the Air

I’m late! I’m late! This should have been posted last night but DH has had an affair with a kidney stone the past few days and I’ve been back and forth to the hospital and what not. He’s home again now and things are back to normal. Or as normal as it gets around here. Still not quite ready for that wedding. SIL called last night and I missed a few names on the list in preparing the wedding favors, etc. so I’m still not finished! I think I might be color blind. My niece had it all laid out wonderfully in a spread sheet, color coded and everything . Amongst those I missed were my brother and his wife - parents of the bride. haha  Fortunately it’s raining here today and coolish so I’ll head on up to the loft and get things done. The past couple days we’ve had fabulous weather - in the low 30s - amazing! Here in Newfoundland, that is uncommon, believe me. I hope it lasts - the wedding is on Saturday and is to take place outside in the garden! Max is ‘walking  in the wedding’ he tells me and Grammy can’t wait to see her two boys dressed up wedding fashion!

Sooooooo, in keeping with all the activities around here this week, the challenge at Just Scraps is to create a wedding card! I have to get a special one done for Sarah Jane myself but I’ve been fooling around with the stamp set Artistic Impressions from Stampin’Up. I’ve seen a number of beautiful cards using this set and have cased several.

I have a stack of tiny cards on hand that I use for leaving DH notes as necessary. They are super easy to make and he actually notices them. This is a new version - a little fancier - using the same stamp set. He’ll know he’s my king - haha - tongue’s in the cheek on that one ladies!

The hardware on the last one is actually silver but it photographed as gold.

That’s it for today.

And Congrats to Mary Demmons who won this week’s little bit of blog candy. Contact me at justscraps.ca@gmail.com Mary with your snail mail address and I’ll get a little package in the mail to you this week.  Too funny! I’ve been cutting out numbers and stirring them up in my butter tub for DH to draw from. Just discovered random.org and it took me only seconds to generate #17. Needless to say, the butter tub has just been retired!

Be sure to sign on with Mr. Linky below. Mr. Linky closes next Sunday, July 18th at which time I’ll use random .org - no butter tub - and get a little blog candy in the mail.

Have a great week !

    Jean, I hope your hubby is OK! Kidney stones are not nice - very painful I believe. Tell him there are vibes for Tassie heading his way for better feeling! hope you are feeling better as well - I know how a situation such as this takes it out of one. What a way to spend summer.

    I hope the wedding goes well as well - I will ponder this wedding card and make a decision: make/or use one I made several months ago but have not put on the blog?
