Let's Celebrate at Anything But a Card Challenge #50 with a Wedding

Good morning friends,

Today is a sad and happy day for me.

Sad, because today is the LAST installment of Anything But a Card challenge #50 CELEBRATE.  I've only been a design team member there for about a year now and as things progress the team has decided it's time to say goodbye.  I'm sad that we will no longer be together designing for such a great blog, but it's also understandable.

Happy, because I made something to share with you that is very dear to me.  My son is getting married in a month and I made their glasses and a vase for them to Celebrate their wedding.  I love glass etching and my Armour Etch gets used a lot!

Although I did not put a tutorial together for this, I'm sure you are familiar with Armour Etch and what it can do.  If not, please check out some of my previous posts and familiarize yourself with the ease of this product.

Hot Cocoa Bottle

Butterfly Bottle

I guess I've made a few things, LOL and I haven't even blogged about all of them!

Anywhooooo, this is what I did for our current challenge.

I tried to make the words stand out a bit with the orange paper inside the vase.

Etching is very hard to photograph.

The vase will hold some peacock feathers at the table.

Although this may look a bit intimidating, using Armour Etch is a breeze.

I hope you've enjoyed my pictures and my post for out last challenge at Anything But a Card and PLEASE  join in for our last "celebration" challenge.  I look forward to seeing what you create.  Remember, there are only 3 rules.

1.  Create anything but a card

2. Follow the theme "Celebrate"

3. Have FUN!

As always, have a great day and God Bless.

Simply Sundays "Designer's Choice"

Good afternoon

**If you are looking for the Lasting Memories" post, please scroll down**

Okay, I am so excited about this project.  This week over at Getting Cricky for our Simply Sundays it's Designer's Choice and I was a bit worried about it until I got my sample stamps in the mail on Wednesday.  Of course I had to play right away because Kristal's stamp are awesome!!!  The only problem I had was deciding what I wanted to make.  Hehehe  Well I am currently out of town (well not as I am writing this), but when this posts I will be...hehehe.  I went home for my best friend's wedding and since I was gonna see my mom (it's been awhile) I made her this little gift.

This cut was from the For Her Delight svg file from Michelle at Scrapping Table.  Isn't it just adorable?  The cut is wonderful and so easy to put together.  I cut it as large as I could get it, so approximately 11.5 inches.  I added a little bit of pearls and a flower to the toe and then I used Kristal's stamp "Miss Shoe..." from the Fabulous Friends stamp set as a label inside the shoe.  I filled a baggie with some chocolates and viola, a simple but beautiful gift.  I just loved the idea of the sentiment, since I do really miss seeing my mom.  Now, seriously, wouldn't these make some awesome bridal shower gifts, or even making them for a girl's night out and using the sentiment "Sole Sister" or "Kick Up Your Heels"?  Yeah, wish I had a bridal shower to get ready for...or girls' weekend anyone?


Also ladies, just a reminder we are having a U-Stream at gettingcricky on Friday, June 17th at 9 p.m. Eastern time to show off Kristal's stamps and also a blog hop.  I will have some blog candy too, so please be sure to come and visit us.  I am sure it will be fun getting to know some of us and also to see what we all come up with.

Now create something, anything and come and link up at Getting Cricky!!!
