MY ENGAGEMENT CARD

This took me ages to decide as it had to be something special.  I trawlled the Internet and came up with a few ideas until I finally settled on this.

Explosion Box

Guest Book


Found the pattern on the internet and changes to meet my size requirements.  Printed paper on Gloss Photo Paper, prints came from Delightful Doodles and Crafts U Print.  I went shopping and bought various embellishments to incorporate in the card.  The appropriate words I found on the Internet and I then foiled them for added effect.  Stacey absolutely loved the card and took it around to everyone at the party proudly telling everyone her Mum had made it.

I also bought a Guest Book for them and bought some grunge lettering and embellishments which I embossed about 5 times using Alison Ellis embossing powders.  The effect came up very well.

STACEY'S ENGAGEMENT

My daughter Stacey has just gotten engaged to Luke Patterson.  We had the engagement party last weekend.  It was a great time, I am so happy for Stacey and Luke and they look very much in love and I wish them well for their future together.  Luke is such a lovely guy and he absolutely adores Stacey.
