For the Bride~



My son's wedding is just a little over a month away and Hannah's bridal shower was held last weekend.  It was a wonderful party held in the backyard of her parent's home.


These were the table decorations, 3 per table, that her mom made for the party.  I loved them!

I made her a card and her shower thank you cards using the same papers and colors that I used for their wedding invitations.  Custom envelope made using the patterned paper from the invites.

Hannah squealed when she opened the card, she loved the dress form!

Supplies:
For the Bride card
Stamps: dress form from Celebrate in Style by Gina K Designs
"for the bride" from a CHF set long gone but kept in my arsenal.
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black
Flourish on paper pieced dress skirt from Flourishes by Crafty Secrets
Paper: Neenah Solar White, Bazzill Limeade, GKD Black Onyx
Patterned Paper: Bella! Wedding
Other: Dotted ribbon by GKD (no longer on website), Lime grosgrain from Michaels

Thank you cards:
Stamp: Flourish from Flourishes by Crafty Secrets

This week my youngest promotes from junior high to high school, so it will be another fun week in our home.  Tomorrow evening is the dinner/dance at the local golf course followed by promotion on Tuesday morning.  Wednesday he begins a month long water polo summer session, to train for water polo in the fall.

Fun times ahead!
