Inspiration Challenge!

This coming Sunday is our 6th wedding anniversary. I can't believe it has been six years already. To celebrate this upcoming anniversary I decided to do an inspiration challenge. These pictures are pictures of our wedding cake (I had a former co-worker make my cakes and they turned out PERFECT!). My challenge to all of you is to use the photos to inspire you to make either a card or a scrapbook page. You can use the colors or the flower theme or anything else about the photos for inspiration. Please post a link in the comments of this post by this Sunday. Anyone who participates will be in a drawing for some fun goodies!

Hope you all have a wonderful day. Don't forget to check out my blog candy post, you still have a few days left!

Blog Candy Reminder!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. This is just a reminder that if you haven't checked out my blog candy post you still have a few more days. Check it out HERE.
A little bit of an update on Chava's fundraising efforts: I just checked and she is at $525 (way over her $150 goal, YAY!!!). Thank you to all who have donated so far!
Unfortunately I got an email from her a couple days ago and Alex (her 6 mo. son) is in the hospital. He is having a lot of problems stemming from his cystic fibrosis and is struggling right now. Please say a prayer for baby Alex and Chava's family as they go through these difficult times. If anyone would like to send a card to Chava to help brighten her day please let me know and I will forward on her address to you. Thanks again for stopping by. Hope you all have a wonderful day!!

Don't forget to check out my blog candy in the previous post!

Tonight a friend of mine called at 7:30 and asked if I could whip up a "First Communion" card by tomorrow morning. Um....No, it is almost my bedtime. Well, that isn't exactly what I said, I think the words were "sure, I'll see if I can come up with something for you". I went down to my stamp room at 8:00 and told Tom to yell for me at 8:30. If I didn't have a card done by then, well I tried...So here is my half hour First Communion card. I have to tell you, I have never made a first communion card. I wasn't even sure what kind of sentiment it should have. I didn't think congratulations was the correct thing to say so I decided to go with "blessings" from the PaperTrey Ink set "Out on a Limb". The main cross image is from an old retired SU! set called "Inspirational Images". I actually had it on my for sale list but I might have to keep it now that I actually used it. The paper is all from PaperTrey Ink except for the brushed silver which is from SU! Pretty plain but ok considering I hadn't planned on stamping tonight and I didn't have much advance notice to put it together.


Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all have a great evening.
