It's thier kiss right after they got married!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I hope you like it, and better yet, that you "get it". Krista does, lol, and she likes it. Daryl thought it was kinda creepy, as did my husband Chris! Men....where do they come from anyways?</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Here is a close up of the detail. I used 2 8x10s and 15 4x6s to make it. her shoulder strap is made up of peices from his flower, and his flower leaves are made up of pieces of her skin tone. I hope that makes sense. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I saw it in my head for three weeks before i sat down to make it, and i LOVE the way it turned out!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

This one wasn't hard to decide! Chris fully doubted my abilities with my spur-of-the-moment project idea...but he has since learned of my complete and total awesomness. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My mom purchased great shoes for me for the wedding. I do really love them. The only problem was though, that I was worried that they didn't fully match. See, I'm wearing a pretty white summer dress, with a cropped raspberry pink lightweight cardigan on top. Terra is wearing a frilly white dress with a black sash and tiny black flowers along the skirt, with a gorgeous matching pink flower to put in her hair. Chris will be in this black suit, white shirt and a pink tie that matches my cardigan. WHITE-PINK-BLACK. There in lies the problem. The darn black! I had nothing black in my outfit. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">On a spur of the moment we stopped by Payless to look at shoes (BOGO ya know!).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">For some reason, i fell in love with these shoes- they are a pale lavender. I'm not a ruffly type person, but they "spoke" to me, lol. And heck, they were only $8 down from $25</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Acme2WpiuvI/S9iZCZwWEkI/AAAAAAAAAkY/uSC1qOHboTE/s1600/lavendar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Acme2WpiuvI/S9iZCZwWEkI/AAAAAAAAAkY/uSC1qOHboTE/s320/lavendar.jpg" tt="true" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The second i put them on, the idea hit me. The shoes are fabric covered, and a simple design. </div><div style="text-align: center;">So off to Hobby Lobby we went!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Yes people, I PAINTED MY SHOES, lol! And it turned out 1000 times better than i saw in my head!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I took my time and painted (with a tiny brush) two coats of white fabric paint, pink fabric paint, and black fabric paint. Whod a thunk it that it would actually work! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Acme2WpiuvI/S9iZegvtfUI/AAAAAAAAAko/zSNPgc0qVho/s1600/whitepinkblack.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Acme2WpiuvI/S9iZegvtfUI/AAAAAAAAAko/zSNPgc0qVho/s320/whitepinkblack.jpg" tt="true" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I made this for two challenges:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://colorthrowdown.blogspot.com/2010/04/color-throwdown-87.html">Color Throwdown #87</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://cleanandsimplestamping.blogspot.com/2010/04/eighty-five.html">Clean & Simple #85</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The layout inspiration (and boy did it inspire!) came from the Clean and Simple sketch:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Acme2WpiuvI/S8Ocb8GZm-I/AAAAAAAAAjo/5jgur-OI1t4/s1600/14th+SKETCH+FTL85+cleanandsimplestamping.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="108" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Acme2WpiuvI/S8Ocb8GZm-I/AAAAAAAAAjo/5jgur-OI1t4/s200/14th+SKETCH+FTL85+cleanandsimplestamping.jpg" width="200" wt="true" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And the gorgeous colors came straight from the color throwdown challenge!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

After seeing that the slightly larger than normal birthday cards are $4-8 at Toys R US, and they are plain and flat, BLAH.....I decided to make her a giant HK Birthday card...and <strong>LOVE </strong>the way it turned out! <br /><br />The card is 10 inches square, and I also made a matching envelope. (Both are made out of 12x12 cardstock, email me if you'd like instructions! It's super easy once you figure it all out!) To cover the binding on the inside i had to also put a second color of cardstock in the middle to write on. <br /><br />I LOVE the way it turned out, and i hope she goes as gaga for it as i did!<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Acme2WpiuvI/SmOfY-BxbmI/AAAAAAAAAao/07H6DdQLsXk/s1600-h/card+env.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Acme2WpiuvI/SmOfY-BxbmI/AAAAAAAAAao/07H6DdQLsXk/s320/card+env.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360303232817131106" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Acme2WpiuvI/SmOfZO9OGdI/AAAAAAAAAaw/V5qtffpsWLM/s1600-h/card+outside.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 314px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Acme2WpiuvI/SmOfZO9OGdI/AAAAAAAAAaw/V5qtffpsWLM/s320/card+outside.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360303237361441234" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Acme2WpiuvI/SmOfZeM0LHI/AAAAAAAAAa4/-1Uz8bl1Dvc/s1600-h/card+upclose.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 264px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Acme2WpiuvI/SmOfZeM0LHI/AAAAAAAAAa4/-1Uz8bl1Dvc/s320/card+upclose.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360303241453382770" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Acme2WpiuvI/SmOfZpNkOgI/AAAAAAAAAbA/rSKGnN4kPbw/s1600-h/card+inside.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 311px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Acme2WpiuvI/SmOfZpNkOgI/AAAAAAAAAbA/rSKGnN4kPbw/s320/card+inside.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360303244409321986" /></a>Melyndahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08933267159468529015noreply@blogger.com1
