Well, the happy couple have gone off on their honeymoon.......I had a wonderful time at their wedding, catching up with family and friends, my brother has gone back home to Queensland, my cold is on the mend.....I needed to get some antibiotics because of the risk of a temperature spike with the chemo drugs, and my computer is behaving itself for now.......although I did have to get a 2nd visit from the computer doctor!
Here is the card I made for Hayley and her new hubby, Trevor. I made it quite large, I think it was approximately 6" x 8", of course I didn't have an envelope big enough and it was rather bulky so I made a little box to present it in. Hayley absolutely loved it and showed it to everyone, so I was quite pleased with the result.
This is the card front, (above)I used a new large size Cuttlebug embossing folder and highlighted it with stickles. The beaded hatpin was a gift in a goodie bag from my lovely friend and Stampin' Up rep, Angela......it arrived at just the right time!
The photo below shows the inside of the card. I didn't make the card with any particular challenge in mind, but I discovered that it fitted perfectly with Sandie's blog candy challenge!
The photos below are of the box I made for the card. The papers used for the card and the box are from EK Success 'I Do' range, I've had these for a while, so they are probably no longer available. Just click on any of the photos for a larger view.
I haven't been in my craft room for several weeks now, but I'm hoping to get something done over the weekend......before it's back to chemo treatment again on Monday.....blah!!
Well, I think that's it from me for now.....I will post a few of the wedding photos soon for you all to see.
